Use the following guiding questions to explore representation in the media and how it affects us and our world.
The basic definition of representation in the media is simply how media, such as television, film, and books, portray certain types of people or communities. There are a number of communities who are underrepresented in western media. They include women, people of color, LBGTQA+ people, people with a range of body shapes and types, people of non-Christian religions, and differently-abled people. There has been a steady increase of diversity in media, but progress has been long and slow.
