Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In this question, we need to evaluate what Jeanette Ruiz's lecture identifies as a direct, common cause of stereotypical representations in media.
Option 1: The profit motive--stereotypical representations sell more products than more accurate ones. This answer argues that media producers pursue profitability, and stereotypes can be a cost-effective way to attract audiences and advertisers, making it a direct, common motivator in media production.
Option 2: Much of what media creators know originates with other media creations. While intertextual influence and copying from existing media occur, this statement describes a mechanism of knowledge transfer rather than a direct, common cause of stereotypes themselves. It explains how content is shaped, but not specifically why stereotypes arise as a frequent outcome.
Option 3: Media creators are intentionally protective of their own racial and ethnic groups. This asserts a conscious, protective motive to avoid stereotypes, which contradicts the idea of stereotypes being common; it suggests an intention to avoid harm rather than a driver of stereotype production.
Option 4: none of the above. If option 1 is accurate, this choice would be incorrect, since there is at least one identified cause among the options.

To understand why option 1 is highlighted as the direct driver, think about the media industry’s incentives: stereotypes can streamline storytelling, reduce production costs, and potentially boost engagement and sales, aligning with the profit motive. Other options describe influences or attitudes that are not as directly causative of stereotypical representations in the general pattern observed in media production.
