My holiday has forced me to watch television, and think, think, think.

"The media acts as platform that contains everything acceptable and reprimanded in society. Subconsciously the impact is bigger than we can imagine.

We process information only to realize that later our impulses are derived from the images we were exposed to. We often take media as a reliable source, for it is constantly feeding us with overwhelming amount of information. Spending a whole day accompanied by fictional characters initially created to entertain without asking questions about gender representation, may lead to subconscious acceptance of these stereotypes.

Fictional or reality, the selective people portrayed in the media will act as a representation. If the media is our only window to a certain place, therefore our assumptions will be limited to the information included.

With the variety of gatekeepers and content providers in the mass media, it its therefore agreeable that with broadcast comes critique.
The many perspectives of individuals in this world pressure the media to think 3-Dimensional and idealistically fair to all gender, races, age and religion."
