Complete ParagraphStereotypes on Screen

Stereotypes are such a part of our culture that we often dont even recognizethem when they are right in front of us. In fact, there are many stereotypes bothon television and in movies. One example of a character who can be considered astereotype is Kelly Bundy from Married with Children. Kelly is a stereotype of adumb blonde. She has big, hair-sprayed blonde hair, wears a lot of makeup andjewelry, and wears skimpy clothes. She is always confused about what is going on,she gets bad grades, and she doesnt even realize when people are making fun ofher. For these reasons, she is a perfect example of how people stereotype blond-haired women. Ricky Ricardo from I Love Lucyis another example of a stereotype

on television. Ricky is a stereotype of the hot-blooded Latin male. He is constantlymad at Lucy for her different stunts, and yells at her in Spanish. Lucy is actuallyafraid of him because of his temper. Also, it is a running joke that Ricky speakswith an accent. He always tells Lucy she had better splain herself. Ricky Ricardois portrayed as a typical Latin male. A third example of a character who can beconsidered a stereotype is Tony Soprano from The Sopranos, a stereotypical Italianman. First, there is a stereotype that Italian men are often involved with the mob,and Tony is a leader in the local mob organization. He speaks with a stereotypicalJersey/New York accent and is obsessed with Italian cooking. Also, he doesnttreat women well but still considers himself a good Catholic, which is anotherstereotype of Italian men. Tony Soprano fulfills many characteristics of thestereotypical Italian man. In conclusion, stereotypes are present in all types ofmedia. The more you start to pay attention, the more stereotypes you will see. I

hope that in the future writers will start to think more creatively and avoidstereotypical characters.
