Introduction
a. Thesis : No matter how innocent the Medias appear to be, what’s being communicated is desensitizing and reinforcing discrimination among the youth
b. Plan: address arguments as they appear in paragraphs
c. Background info: Personal example, questioning, going for a more emotional start.
Supporting argument
a. How much time people/youth spend watching TV and on the web and how it factors into how they think and form biases.
b. What messages the media is telling why it’s targeting the younger audience. The outcome of those messages are telling younger crowds it’s “cool” to display or act out negative stereotypes which they get discriminated against.
c. Children aren’t born with discriminations, they are taught them or allowed to have them
Assessment of objections
a. Responsible parents will guide and direct a child, by limiting his or her viewing time and monitoring content.
b. Discrimination is a dying idea, and we as a race have moved on so it’s okay to make light of the stereotypes. It makes for entertaining movies and news. No real harm done.
c. Children grow out of things
Conclusion
a. Reinstate the thesis.
b. Bring new meaning to the thesis and provide sum thoughtful solutions
c. Close with a poem.
The discrimination of youth Let’s imaging for a moment that I am a young brave 19 year old fresh out of high school. If I were to be making a choice between going to the movies with one friend rather than another based on uncomfortable feelings, there wouldn’t be anything unusual about it. But, let’s say I chose that one friend over the other based on how their “race” makes me feel uncomfortable, now things are starting to push out of bounds. Then, I go a step further and make it a point to tell others that they shouldn’t hang out with African American males because they all carry weapons and that makes them all dangerous. I would then be the walking definition of racial discrimination
