Hey everyone!
This is my fourth blog post, and it is about representation and regards a few questions asked by my instructor.
- Immigrant parents, this group is a growing part of American demographics and should be included in media, more specifically defiant representation forms of immigrant women with postmodernism ideals.
- In Seven Pounds a poor immigrant family is portrayed as poor, uneducated, filthy, and uncomplacent, which reflects poorly on the specific representation of immigrant latino families as perceived in this film.
Crazy Rich Asians has defied norms from immigrant families with conservative ideals, as seen through the parents of the couple. Yet the representation of Asians is incredible and ensures to close a gap between the stereotype, it still emphasizes traditional or even outdated family dynamics.
- The representation is somewhat truthful to some extent based on the social dichotomy surrounding immigrant life in the United States, yet it does not fairly represent all individuals and cannot ascertain the proper perception such people may have as well.
- The characteristics of social status I believe should be retained in some part as many immigrant families and specifically the parents of such households are treated poorly and sadly a majority as in the middle to lower social classes, and this would represent how people are treated and how something must be done, but in a manner that does not normalize the situation.
