White Ethnics

Today's class discussion made me realize how ignorant "American" society has been and still is. There is this set image of perfection that society keeps emulating for everyone to chase after. There seems to be this idea of what an American should look, behave, and act like that our society has tried to instill upon us. This image of course always leaves out people who have different skin colors, hair color, physical features, sexuality and so on. It's comparable to the Aryan race concept during Nazi germany. With the use of the media, we are able to broadcast these images of what everyone should look and act like. We will not be able to progress as a society if can not get passed the propaganda that is distributed through majority group via the media. Social stereotyping will always be prevalent in our society because everyone buys into through their tv sets.
