This article explains stereotypes as "recognizable but inaccurate views of one group of people by others" (PBS parents). It gives examples of women and minorities stereotypes. This site is dedicated to the right education of children by their parents, because those are in fact responsible for the views of their children, their perception of the world, culture and society. But because children nowadays are so overly exposed to all media, TV, internet, commercials, billboards and advertisements it is hard to escape its manipulation and stereotyping. Parents should teach kids right from wrong, real from fake, ideal from normal. This article gives parents 7 advices of how to fight stereotypes created by the media affecting their children. It advices them to talk about cultural diversity as minorities are often stereotyped in the media, made fun of and shown mostly negatively. Parents should also discuss the differences between females and males, what they think these are and point out how this is differently shown in the media. Also, an important lesson to learn is age discrimination. While young are portrayed as capable and old wise, they are also mostly viewed as "feeble and easily duped" and children should be told that is not always the case. Another very good advice it gives is for the kids to recognize the illusion of beauty that media creates and not everyone should or could look like that, but that is completely alright.
