I’ve reflected on what I have learned so far and I am proud
to say is a lot. Most importantly I am a person that over indulges in films and
television shows, ads and magazines. To me it is a very important part in of my
life especially because I someday wish to work as a Director for a film or TV
show. Hence, learning about some of the negatives things media brings to
the audience is depressing.
On a side note I don’t always want to feel like I have to decode everything
I watch. Like the AD shown in class “watch what you watch” because honestly if it wasn’t for
this class I probably would have never given it much thought. I would like to
add that as a Latino person the topic of Latina stereotypes really spoke to me.
In particular the article by Debra Merskin it informed me on the three common Latina
stereotypes. Also, the article What Does
Race Have to do With Ugly Betty? By Jennifer Esposito because it still
has me a bit perplexed just because I am unsure about what I would have done in
Betty’s situation… if I was offered a job because I meet their “quota” what
would I do?
