Gender
In this Video from Fox News the interviewer and interviewees debate gender equality in regards to the success/income and of men and women. It is implied that women stereotypically earn less than men and therefore chose to marry 'successful men' which is proved from 'facts'. implying that if they marry less successful men that their marriages will end in divorce. It was also suggested that men look to marry women who are younger and more attractive.
In this video once again taken from the Fox News channel there is a clear stereotype attached to women by Gavin McInnes. His view is very bias and subjective as he believes that women are less ambitious, better suited at home and accuses them to be pretending to like work and also choosing family over work. He goes on to state that women are emotional and also provides a stereotype of men that they earn more money than women.
Youth
According to this article in the Time Magazine British youth are violent, drunken and out of control. The front cover depicts a young man in a hoodie with mugshots of others across a Union Jack. It heading reads - "Unhappy, Unloved and Out of Control - An epidemic of violence, crime and drunkenness has made Britain scared of its young." The facial expression of the man is very serious and intense. This presents and stereotypes British youth as a whole to be extremely negatively despite this actually being the minority. The article later states that the boys and girls who casually pick fights, have sex and keep the emergency services fully occupied are often fuelled by cheap booze.
In this article from The Daily Telegraph titled Our Sick Society, three images of young suspects are used as possible looters in a riot. The fact that the newspaper chose to only include these 3 youngsters allows for generalisations to be made on youth today. This can perhaps form a stereotype to be formed, regarding the youth to be violent and immoral as they break the laws.
Islam
Once again on Fox News, controversial statements were made by the interviewee and interviewer. On this occasion it is in relation to muslims and "no-go" zones in Europe which are apparently dominated by muslims. This however isn't the case. This generalisation makes muslims seem violent as they suggest that are aggressive towards anyone who isn't a muslim. They include a clip of muslims on a train in France who are chanting, but this clip was in fact recorded 5 years prior to the show. Also they converse about women who wear burkas to hide their identities.
During this clip taken from Fox News the interviewee states that all 18-28 year old muslim males should be profiled and then strip searched. This is because he feels that they are a threat to civilians due to the possibility of them carrying weapons or explosives. This provides a very negative stereotype of muslims due to the actions of a minority of muslims. It is suggested that muslims are violent and responsible for terrorism, perhaps due to the 9-11 terrorist attack.
