Do violent video games make us violent?

Damsel in Distress (Part 1) Tropes vs Women

Let’s view The Parent Rap and while doing so think about:

  • How is this framed?
  • What stereotypes does it reinforce?
  • Are those stereotypes true?

Is it true that we are born with prejudice about “the other?”
You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught – Video

“You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught,” (Lyrics from South Pacific.)

You’ve got to be taught To hate and fear,

You’ve got to be taught From year to year,

It’s got to be drummed In your dear little ear,

You’ve got to be carefully taught.

You’ve got to be taught to be afraid

Of people whose eyes are oddly made,

And people whose skin is a diff’rent shade,

You’ve got to be carefully taught.

You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,

Before you are six or seven or eight,

To hate all the people your relatives hate,

You’ve got to be carefully taught!
