Abstract:
This research aims to explore the impact of media portrayal on public attitudes and stereotypes towards marginalized groups. The study investigates how media representations of these groups can shape societal perceptions, reinforce stereotypes, and influence public opinion. By examining various forms of media, including television, film, and social media, this research seeks to shed light on the potential consequences of biased or inaccurate portrayals. The findings of this study will contribute to a better understanding of the role media plays in shaping public attitudes towards marginalized communities and provide insights for promoting more inclusive and accurate representations.
