In class on Monday, we took our test, and I felt extremely confident about how I did. Being the first one finished, I felt a little prideful towards my hard studying efforts.
Afterwards, we viewed a few music videos and discussed the stereotypes seen repeatedly on the screen. Women were looked at as sexual icons, rappers were seen as violent gangsters, and women were also depicted as independent and powerful. I have always been aware of the stereotypes seen in music videos, but once it was brought to my attention, the music scene is bombarded with vivid images of how we are supposed to be, look like, and act like. It was quite disturbing.
