The Gilmore Girls Stereotypes
The Gilmore Girls S1: E1 Pilot starts with Lorelai and Rory. They both live in a small town, and have some shared ambitious. Rory gets accepted into a private high school “Chilton” where they prepare kids to go to big schools like Harvard. Did I mention that Harvard is Rory’s dream school. The only problem is that Lorelai does not have the money to pay for Rory’s school tuition, and of course she has to swallow her pride and ask her rich parents for money. S1: E2: The Lorelais’ First Day at Chilton. Rory begins her first day at Chilton, and the girls are rude to her. They believe that Rory is there to take over everything they have. She also meets a boy named Tristen who keeps calling Rory “Mary” as Virgin Mary, since Rory looks innocent. …show more content…
Lorelai got pregnant, with Rory when she was only 16, besides that she had the struggle of being born into a wealthy family, that does not really understand the way to do things, but think they do. Because of it, Lorelai doesn’t want Rory to live the same way she did, so Lorelai shelters her daughter from that wealthy lifestyle. The female stereotype is portrayed with Lorelai, since she is independant, smart, funny, and a business owner. She runs an Inn, and wishes to open her own Inn with her friend Sookie. Then we have Lorelai’s daughter Rory, who is a 16 year old who is a very intelligent and likes to spend her day reading or studying since she has hopes on going to Harvard. The Gilmore Girls show us girl power, and it also a feminist awakening. We can honestly see this at the beginning of the show, two girls filled with dreams and

    Stereotypes In Take Modern Family

    As members of a multicultural society we are exposed to our peers’ various values and customs on a daily basis. While it may be true that some characteristics may seem unfamiliar at first glance, the media inherently relies on oversimplified stereotypes in order to get the audience to connect with minorities. Even shows that deal with diversity as subject matter fall victims to the trope of using stereotypes as a humor device. Take Modern Family, a sitcom that airs on ABC, as an example. The show challenges the notion of a traditional family but it constantly depicts the characters as parodies of what they are supposed to represent. Gloria Pritchett played by Sofia Vergara is often overly sexualized and given a short-tempered demeanor. Vergara…

    Stereotypes In The Breakfast Club

    This paper is an analysis of five dissimilar teenagers representing a cross-section of middle class high school students in the suburbs. The students meet each other for the first time during a Saturday morning detention session. Each student arrived to the school by different means, which is a precursor to determining the type of individual each one is. The group is comprised of a "princess", an "athlete”, a "brain", a "criminal", and a "basket case". These are the roles the students play during the week. Because of typical stereotypes and status levels, at the onset, the students don’t want anything to do each other at the beginning of the detention session. However, once confronted by the controlling principal and…

    Outsiders Stereotypes

    Sherman Alexie once said “Don’t live up to your stereotypes.”This means to be yourself and not what others stereotype about you. The quote relates to the novel because Ponyboy got stereotyped by other people but he realizes that being a greaser stands out to him and he shouldn’t care what they think about him. In this novel, Hinton explores the theme, social status does not define who you are on the inside.…

    Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

    Lorelei seemed to come from a middle class family. She mentions that she attended business college, and that her father was sending her away to learn how to become a stenographer. This indicates that it was not out of the question for her to work for a living, although after she fell into the hands of Gus Eisman she does nothing of the sort. After living under the care of Mr. Eisman, she easily makes the transition from being a part of the working middle class to the life of leisure of the upper class. This of course would be a tremendous event for most people, but Lorelei seems not to dwell too much on it. She chooses, rather to focus on other more important things like diamond tiaras. So, instead, I will focus on it for a moment. It seems completely out of line for a book that claims to be such an intelligent commentary on women's lives, to focus on a woman of such privilege. I know that the fact that she is so privileged adds a very amusing edge to the novel, but it really seems quite inaccurate. Since it was originally published in Harper's Bazaar, it has to be noted that the women who would be reading such periodicals would be of the working or middle class. Seeing a…

    Breakfast Club Stereotypes

    On a Friday night, you might often find yourself mindlessly browsing through the abundance of movies available to watch on Netflix or Amazon. In fact, it's likely you spend at least ten minutes, if not more, just trying to narrow down the options with great frustration. Next time, just skip ahead of the monotonous search and look for one movie: The Breakfast Club. Released in 1985, The Breakfast Club is about a group of seemingly different high school students that must spend the majority of their Saturday in detention together, each leaving the experience with a new perspective of their classmates. While some may say movies are for simple entertainment alone, I would argue otherwise as this particular film presents highly important messages to its audience. It alludes to themes of learning not to judge others based on stereotypes, self-acceptance, and, additionally, viewers may more easily relate to the characters, unlike with many other teen films. It is, without a doubt, essential for teenagers and adults alike, to watch this movie.…

    Modern Family Stereotypes

    With society becoming more accepting of LGBT people it comes as no surprise that there are more LGBT characters in movies and television shows. Modern Family on ABC is a well-known tv show that has a gay couple that take on a leading role in the show. Even though they have their own quirks based on being gay they are still represented as being a kind and loving family. The result of showing them as a family furthers the notion that gay people are still people and that they can have a successful family. However, in Modern Family, one of the gay couples friends takes on the characteristics of the stereotypical gay man. The use of a stereotypical gay man has the ability to negatively affect how people view gay men. When a person who already has…

    Stereotypes in the Media

    Over the past couple of decades the usage of offensive stereotypes have played a big role in popular films, TV shows, music videos, and comedy routines today. In fact one can only argue that these offensive stereotypes have increased considerably and will only continue to grow. There are many reasons as to why these stereotypes have only increased and have led to the creators of these films making millions and millions of dollars. The main reason behind this is making fun of race, color, poverty, and other cultures and using straightforward offensive words to do so is humorous to a large part of the US population. Although most of us would feel insulted if these offensive racial stereotypes were directed toward us. The purpose of comedy routines/films was to bring laughter for the media today, which was not the case decades ago.…
