Stereotypes of Arizona vs New York City
In terms of stereotypes, I want you to discuss Arizona state. Consider the dominant stereotypes about NEW YORK CITY, but also the dominant stereotypes about ARIZONA. You may illustrate with specific examples, such as words, images, or details. How do examples reinforce the stereotypes or tropes?
Explore how the geographic location, demographics, politics, and laws shape the culture. More importantly, consider the paradigm shifts and ways that you and others are changing those perceptions.
What choices can you make? Perhaps it’s a recent news story or a different celebrity or character from a show or film that is changing a stereotype. Note both the technology and media changes you are witnessing currently, plus the changes that come from your media content.
