Chapter 4: Representation Reflection

 The idea of representation has to deal with being based on actual experience and based on an actual reason. Representation also has to also deal with a specific group being labeled and once a specific group is labeled or a stereotype is created for that group others will never look at the group the same because of how much prejudice is built up. According to Chapter 4 Representation, states, "The term has the capacity to suggest that some media re-present, over and over again, certain images, stories, situations. This can make them seem ‘natural’ or familiar – and thereby marginalize or even exclude other images, making those unfamiliar or even threatening."
