Media Stereotypes
Media plays a vital role in spreading stereotypes among people. Media like magazines,movie,TV and so on should receive the credit for this. Examples of stereotypes are; short men are short- tempered and fat people are lazy ones. Most of the movies nowadays, visualize fat people as lazy and incapable society. Its not true, not all fat people are lazy to do works. Besides that, in most western movies, short man will be picturized as the short-tempered person. I was scared to go near short people when i was still young because of this. I realise now that dwarfism does not cause anger in one person.

Yes, i agree. When i was young, i often thought that fat people are lazy and loves to eat while small timid people are always afraid or shy.

yes, i do agree with thiva. Movies always potray that fat people are lazy and loves to eat. However, in reality all fat people are not as lazy as we think. There are fat people who are hardworking and even hold a higher positions in companies.
