Critical reflection 2 (WEEK 7)
According to the John Naisbitt, Megatrends’s srticle. He show 10 benefit of Media Literacy Education
1. Meets the needs of FCM students to be wise consumers of media, managers of information and responsible producers of their ideas using the powerful multimedia tools of a global media culture.
2. Engages students. . . bringing the world of media into the classroom connects learning with "real life" and validates their media culture as a rich environment for learning.
3. Gives students and lecturers alike a common approach to critical thinking that, when internalized, becomes second nature for life.
4. Provides an opportunity for integrating all subject areas and creating a common vocabulary that applies across all disciplines.
5. Helps meet state standards while, at the same time using fresh contemporary media content which FCM students love.
6. Increases the ability and proficiency of FCM students to communicate (express) and disseminate their thoughts and ideas in a wide (and growing) range of print and electronic media forms - and even international venues.
7. Media literacy's "inquiry process" transforms teaching and frees the lecturers to learn along with students -- becoming a "guide on the side" rather than a "sage on the stage."
8. By focusing on process skills rather than content knowledge, FCM students gain the ability to analyze any message in any media and thus are empowered for living all their lives in a media-saturated culture.
9. By using a replicable model for implementation, such as Five Key Questions, media literacy avoids becoming a "fad" and, instead, becomes sustainable over time because students FCM are able to build a platform with a consistent framework that goes with them from school to school, grade to grade, teacher to teacher and class to class. With repetition and reinforcement over time, students are able to internalize a checklist of skills for effectively negotiating the global media culture in which they will live all of their lives.
10. Not only benefits individual students but benefits society by providing tools and methods that encourage respectful discourse that leads to mutual understanding and builds the citizenship skills needed to participate in and contribute to the public debate.

Critical reflection 2 (WEEK 6)
From your personal experience, what other media stereotype you have seen either on TV or in the movies?
While In my opinion, television have improved in its character of females, many of the women feature on TV to be someone's wife or girlfriend .Television children are generally cast in gender relate role, the girls playing with dolls and the boys play at sports. Similarly, the character of mothers-in-law, gays, police officers, and truck drivers tends toward the stereotypical.
Culture of stereotypes are also popular in television. However, minorities are portrayed stereotypically and rich as the white majority.
Because stereotyping will lead by children to form false impressions of societal groups, it is important that students recognize stereotypes and understand the role they play in television. Students must tune into the ways television treats people, recognize how they themselves relate to TV characters, and understand how these characters can influence their ideas about the real people in their communities.

Critical reflection 1 (WEEK 6)
Give a very short basic explanation of what media stereotype is?
Media stereotypes are inevitable, especially in the advertising, entertainment and news industries, which need as wide an audience as possible to quickly understand information. Stereotypes act like codes that give audiences a quick, common understanding of a person or group of people—usually relating to their class, ethnicity or race, gender, sexual orientation, social role or occupation.
