10 quick ways to analyze children books for racism and sexism.
1)what passage did you find most important ?
Thinking back on my child hood i really cant remember how racist or sexist was the media.Now that i have read the 10 quick ways to analyze children's books for Racism and sexism i can somewhat figure out that its true, All the cartoons that my generation and the one before were so use to watching that we did not even notice how racist or sexist it was. I believe that the most important passage is on page ten on the number one where they talk about how check if the illustration of a book is racist or sexist.I think this is the most important part of the of the passage because the author says to make sure to look for stereotypes, A stereotype is a simply generalization about a particular group, race, or sex that usually somewhat of an effect. He also tells us to always check of who's doing what? Do the illustrations pick minorities to be less important and passive roles or in leader ship and actions roles? are the males the active "doers" and the females the inactive observers?. I believe that the media has done so much damage to the mind of the kids that you really cant fight it, But someone has to open the eyes of the kids because they are being blinded by the media with all these bad things and don't even notice it because they are to young, just like i was and everybody else.
