How can we improve the stereotypical image of gender and sexual orientation?
My action:
Media is a tool that can directly affect the feelings of audiences. Socially speaking, we should encourage media outlets to portray a wide range of genders in various roles, promote positive representations beyond stereotypes, and showcase the diversity of experiences. Therefore, I decided to edit a video that showcases individuals from diverse backgrounds who serve as inspirational figures in different fields. Each role may have different races, sexual orientations, and abilities. After that, this video will be sent to different audiences, and I will record their responses to see whether it will show potential changes.
Test and potential changes
– Audience comment conclusions:
- Encouraging diversity and recognizing the value that different perspectives bring to the table can help break down stereotypes and promote tolerance.
- Different professionals with different genders and sexual orientations in various fields contribute to shifting social attitudes more easily than other people.
- After watching this video, it made me start thinking about whether the concept of gender is that important, we should focus more on human nature rather than their sexual orientation.
