Diversity matters

Diversity matters because it shows the ethnic groups they produce throughout media. Most research on the effects of television diversity focuses on the way that portrayals of people of colour, or the lack thereof, affect the self concept and self-esteem of people of colour. People don't really notice the media is doing this because all they care about is their audience and money. The majority of ethnicity on the news is white. The odd time there will be other ethnic groups, but white is more dominated. Aboriginal is second dominated, for stero-typed reasons. I notice some difference, but not too much. There starting to show more ethnic groups, but it is only stero-typical. For exaThey still show black people as "gangsters" and as "bad people" They don't show them as normal people. I am not sure if this is ever going to change but it should. Stereotyping religeons is just ignorant. When is someone going to take recognition to this matter? Another example is the Jessica Lynch case where Jessica got publicity and Shoshana Johnson did not. She was captured as well, where is her story? Johnson's parents accused the army of a double standard in sensitivity and rascism. The governement needs to take more action, that is what they are there for. To take part in the issues of the world.
