[Media and Racial Stereotypes]

[Sulli1j@cmich.edul]


Project Description: In this proposal, we decided to examine the rhetoric in the media, how criminals are perceived or stereotyped. Everyone has their own perspective of a criminal but, sometimes the media plays a big part into why people have the assumptions/perspectives that they do have. The things that media puts out there about criminals cause people to have a number of stereotypes and assumptions of what the normal criminal is. In the media, it seems like most crimes they display it has something to do with a minority which makes most people think that majority of minorities in a community is a criminal. So with that, we would like to find out how our fellow college-mates perceive a criminal by asking them “What do you think is society's perception of a criminal?”
