By watching this link, I hope that you will realize that stereotyping is common everywhere not just the media, but also in society. The media plays a large role in how we think. It influences you by showing you what's called popular, interesting, or lame. And since society generally follows what the media say's we tend to create stereotypes of our own....

There were a lot of crazy statistics in this link about men being violent. To some extent this confirms the stereotype, but it also may be in part a RESULT of the stereotype... I wonder which one it is, mostly, or is it an even combination of both?
