Thursday Event During Classtime

I had trouble discerning what exactly Maria's argument was with her thick accent. However I did pull some stuff out of what she said. She was basically saying that our identities are perceived many different ways through the media. We perceive it in one way and in retrospect everyone else perceives it differently. Not only that, but depending on what country you live in or maybe even what region of a country you live in could affect the way people's identities are perceived. That would be very true for different countries, but maybe not so much in different regions of the same country but that possibility is still out there nonetheless. The way that race is perceived in media is very prevalent. Different races are always being stereotyped in the media. It happens everyday. Just turn on the local news to see that. You can see it everywhere you turn.
