Lecture N1: STEREOTYPES ON TELEVISION ( draft )
Summary
People in the US takes TV as granted and watched it for 30hrs/weeks ,their favourite programs are drama and comedy, over there the ability of media to expend fictional as really influence the real world and can lead to confusion.
Media literacy define as a power of media has been the root of endless arguments such as stereotype; in the US only 38% of the character on TV are women which is not significant if we bear in mind that there represent 50% of the actual population.
according to the fact that image is crucial in us TV directors tent to make the audience recognise the character by the use of stereotype so, the men character can do more than a women, sold problems without any assistance,however, for women it is always about , relationship, problem with her love life regardless the fact that she is clever and got a good position to stand for in the society another example of stereotype will be that 50% of the ccharacter on TV are wealthy which doesn't reflect the reality as we all know that it's much lower in reality and 1/3 of the character have professional jobs in reality it is only 11% of the population.
we could conclude by saying that TV is a product,people are looking for to escape from the reality to a fantasy world which can lead to confusion.

BBC Proms, Royal Albert Hall, London
By Richard Fairman

On the way home from Saturday’s late-night Prom a distant clap of thunder rumbled around the sky. Somewhere up there, I thought, Karlheinz Stockhausen is still at work, conjuring awesome sounds to put in his next cosmic musical creation.
There could not have been a better occasion than the BBC Proms for a memorial concert to Stockhausen, who died at the end of last year. The audience is generally open to experimental ideas such as his and the vast Royal Albert Hall is well suited to the work of a composer afflicted with a serious case of megalomania.
