The " Media Awareness" website has all the good information about issues concerned with media. I was concentrating on stereotyping in the media and at first I found a general explanation of what media stereotyping means, what are the problems with this issue and the roots. Then, it gives more in depth explanations about different group stereotypes, ethnic minorities, aboriginal people, stereotypes of women and men, gays and lesbians, people with disabilities.

This site is specifically talking about gender roles stereotyping and explains many aspects in a detailed manner. For example concerning sex, it says men look for the availability of women whereas women look for sex in a long term romantic relationship. When it comes to learning, it says that women excel in languages while men in math,science and spatial (chiron.valdosta.edu).

The third article discusses in depth the negative aspects of stereotypes in society. It concerns itself with the issue of idealism of the celebrity body and a phenomenon it created. Since these bodies are super skinny and perfect, they are portrayed in the media as the ideal and this creates huge misconceptions and negative feelings among people when they do not fit this ideal dictated by the media.
