General Representation In the Media

Media representation is utterly reliant on someone else's perception of reality. The way events and people are depicted in the media heavily impacts the way the majority begin to see things as well. All representations are meant to omit someone else's truth but that doesn't make the information entirely true. This false sense of "truth" can be depicted in movies, shows, magazines, books, and so forth. The media tends to be very misleading towards gender/ gender roles, ethnicity, political parties, politics, sexuality, and more. So why is this important? Since media holds such a prominent role in our society, individuals of all age groups absorb this information and take it for what it is. The intention is never questioned, therefore, leading to many erroneous ideas and beliefs.
