Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify common, daily occurrences of the filtration of media (i.e: news media, entertainment media), and how the practices of these filtrations influence society and our ideologies towards others. The research presented will demonstrate how by accepting these ideologies, we as a society are allowing victimized voices to go unheard and ultimately contributing to systems of oppression. This paper will analyze multiple media cases such as violence and racism, rape, mental illness, etc. and will contribute to the understanding of how oppression does not have to necessarily be considered physical and/or verbal acts, but also can be as simple as accepting the historical and evolutionary biases, representations and/or ideologies to be true.
