How the media shapes the way we view the world - BBC REEL

From a young age, the media we consume shapes our identity, the way we think and the way we view the world. So just how damaging can racial tropes and a lack of representation in films, TV and books be for our sense of identity?

This channel of all channels speaking on media shaping peoples minds.. bruh the irony is too much.

[csuribarnabas]

Completely misleading title, this had nothing to do with media shaping people's minds, it's just about how black people are portrayed in movies, and even in that regard it's so incredibly biased and subjective, it is hardly a scientific nor educational video. This is pure revisionism at it's finest, this is what will lead to entertainment media being flat and soulless rather than full of life, because movies will have to strictly abide by these rules to make sure they offend no one at any cost and everyone is perfectly represented; to a point where it's beyond storytelling, and the actual point of the movie is not entertainment but worldwide representation. The whole point of cinema is to elevate real life, to create stories that don't happen to the everyday person, and one of the ways to do that is caricatures. In a movie it's not only the black people who are caricatured, white people and all sorts of other people's mannerisms and personalities are always exaggerated to create the most evil of villains or the most perfect good guy. This was a waste of time and the message of the video is nothing but forcful erasure of history.

The title of this video is largerly misleading. It should have been named something like How the media's portrayal of people of colour shapes our perception.

One of the ways to feel positive energy is to take your attention away from the negative and focus on everything that transmits positivity to you. Have a beautiful day!

[Fakeem]

And that is why media frèedom must have checks and balances like any institution of power.

[Bagg]

This is exactly as misleading as CBS news....

[georgelemwa]

The "Angry Black Man" who appears at 1:42 is John Singleton, the (late) director of "Four Brothers." He wasn't one of the actors; I think BBC may want to correct

[marinski]

this was stupid. I wanted to see about How the media shapes the way we view the world, not how the media portrays black people.

[ricardusrex]

We're all stereotyped. It's not just black people. For example I'm a middle aged white British man, so I get to play the villian in movies a lot.

[trava]

You lost me when you started bringing race and skin color into it

[audreydunham]

why blame as long as we blame we ae creating a dangerous chaos.

[lottie]

black British?
Would you also be ok with White Japanese?

[ChronoStrife]

Subtly acknowledging their own propaganda.

[peterkim]

like this is a prime example of media shaping the way we view the world, by presenting data and facts it makes you agree with their perspective because if you haven't done your research how can you dispute the facts unless you're just a naturally gifted renaissance man who can sniff through bullshit.

[AntecGreeno]
