Cultivation Essay

    I’m trying to study for my Art & Design course and I need some help to understand this question.

    George Gerbner’s Cultivation Theory posits that media exposure leads us to “cultivate” certain perceptions, but it’s not immediate: it’s gradual, cumulative, and significant.

    What have you “cultivated” from TV and other media? Write a one page essay that explain howmedia have shaped your perception of any of the following (or choose your own):
    Gender roles (what it means to be a man or woman) Race & Ethnicity (white, black, Asian, Latino, Mid-East) Immigrants Sub-cultures Terrorists Disabled people Old people Hip Hop or Rap artists Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, Bi-Sexual people Republicans and Democrats (Conservatives and Liberals) Activists and Protestors Americans Hackers Religions (Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Mormon, Scientologists) Homeless people Geeks Countries Trump
    Discuss which media portrayals or messages influenced your view – was it TV shows, characters, websites, video games, cartoons, or news reports? DISCUSS ANY OTHER FACTORS BESIDES MEDIA. Discuss how it happened and if it’s an accurate perception.

    Alternatively, instead of writing about yourself, you may write about someone you know who you believe has been heavily influenced by media.
