representations (activity 3)

stereotypical representation can be defined as an oversimplified and generalised image or idea of a group of people or a thing. and example is Cher from ‘clueless’ as she’s portrayed as a ditsy young blonde teenage girl and she uses that to try get closer to her love interest.

countertype representation can be defined as a parallel or opposite view that challenges dominant prejudice views. an example is Jennifer check in ‘Jennifer’s body’ as though she is seen as a popular and attractive girl, she is calculated and isn’t subservient to any men.
