69 Words1 Page

There are so many military stereotypes that are found in movies and online and many that are quite wrong. One of the biggest is that soldiers in the military are of inferior intelligence, and that school drop outs and those with bad grades join the military for something to do. This is an insult to everything military, many duties and occupations offered require a high school degree of intelligence.

    Stereotypes in media have been around since the earliest cartoons were drawn. The media gives supposedly identifying traits with images of the stingy Jewish man, the single Hispanic woman cleaning homes to raise her three children, and the “butch” lesbian falling for the beautiful blonde who just happens to glance at her every day in the hallway. These portrayals make up general knowledge about minorities for a lot of people, but their accuracy is questionable at best. While production companies have been making strides towards the better, insufficient representation in the media tends to portray minorities as their negative stereotypes rather than as people.

    The film I chose to look into for this paper was Super Troopers. Super Troopers takes place in a fictional town in Vermont and references numerous Vermont stereotypes throughout the film. The first prominent scene that exemplifies stereotypes in Vermont is when Throny and Rabbit are having a chugging contest in their small town diner; however, they were not chugging any liquids, but rather they were chugging maple syrup. According to Movoto, which is a popular site for having a quick laugh, Vermonters are notoriously known for worshiping their pure maple syrup. Movoto continues with the article, adding fun facts like, “ Vermont has more than 2,000 maple products producers and is responsible for more than one third of the total maple syrup

  • Stereotypes In Hacksaw Ridge

    In the movie, Hacksaw Ridge, the medic, Desmond Doss, is shown to be very confident. In one scene he is talking about a girl and is very confident saying he would get her, and had no doubts at all. Being confident is important, because it helps you stand up for what you believe in and you won 't back down as easily. I admired how much the medic stands up for himself and didn 't let anybody get to his head, and how confident he was and didn 't let anybody ever stomp all over him. The medic, was the only one to not pick up a rifle in the beginning of the movie, he didn 't let that stop him from standing up for what he believed in, even if others didn 't agree.
