      Stereotype:

Women:

Ø      Women often care and focus on physical appearance than men.

Ø      Beautiful women are often noticed by men and they attract men

Ø      Beautiful woman is the person who has slim waist, slim body not a fat one

Ø      Women often use all methods, even endure difficulties and uncomfort just to be beautiful, attractive and loved by men

Ø      Happy woman is the person who is loved and pursued by a lot of men

Ø      Beautiful women are often proud, even arrogant little bit ( the girl in the advertisement continued to walk with confidence and pride. Sometimes she smiled, sometimes she ignored men who are occupied in watching her.)

Men

Ø      Men tend to be impressed by the apprearance by women and they even love women just because of her beautiful appearance

Ø      Men love in the eyes

Ø      Men are easily distracted by beautiful women and easy to lose control.( some men in the ads are surprised , shocked and stared girl…even the old man in the first moment of the ads flew salivary)

    Discrimination

The picture is about 4 black men bear a white man on their shoulders and go to the places which the white man wants.

In my opinion, this picture is full of discrimination. It implies many things including perception and attitude of white people toward black people in society.In this picture, the white think status of the black is low, the black has to serve the white, has to do the thing the white want.

• The black is just an animal walking on two legs( in the picture faces of 4 black men unclear, somehow like monkey….)
• The black is poor and backward ( in the picture, 4 black men only wears short pants, don’t wear shirt
• Black people  has to face danger when work to satisfy white people, has suffer physical pain ( 4 men in the picture walked on barefoot )
• Status of black men is low and their life and destiny just like animal (4 black men and the dog have to walk, a white man sit)
• The white is boss and leader; the black is slave and servant ( 4 black men bear a white man on their shoulders)
• White people are less than the black people but they have more power and strength( 4 black men bear a white man on their shoulders)
• The black is be exploited, their life  depends on the white, , has to work under the white’s control, has to do the things the white wants, don’t have right to decide, to resist and oppose.( 4 black men and the dog have to go to places the white man wants)
• The white doesn’t care how tired and pain the black suffered, doesn’t take consideration about black’s thoughts……all the white care is the black has to do the things they want under their control ……may be fun comes from enjoy life and exploiting the black( in the picture, the white man enjoy seeing scene around by going everywhere with 4 black men)

Ø      It’s unfair and absurd discmination of white people toward black people..

(CNN) -- Unlike in the death of any other world leader, reactions from the international community to the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il were somewhat muted. Few countries issued statements in the hours immediately after Kim's death was announced on North Korean state television. And some, like the United States, opted to focus on its relationship with South Korea.

AUSTRALIA

Kevin Rudd, Foreign Minister: "It is at times like this that we cannot afford to have any wrong or ambiguous signaling. This time also presents an important opportunity to the new North Korean leadership to engage fully with the international community. On how to improve their economy in order to properly feed their people and critically on how to deal with the outstanding problem of North Korea's nuclear weapons program."

FRANCE

Foreign Minister Alain Juppe: "There isn't much hope. It is a completely closed off regime ... We are very cautious about the consequences of this succession. We hope that one day the North Korean people will find freedom. There are ongoing talks with North Korea ... and we need to keep on talking with China and other participants to make North Korea abandon its nuclear weapon."

GERMANY

Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle: "We hope that a window of opportunity will open for the people of North Korea," Westerwelle said during a joint news conference with British Foreign Secretary William Hague.

      Prejudice:
 In thís new, there are much prejudice from Ministers of Australia,France and Germany as well as some people, who involve in writing, editing this news to Kim Jong( the leader of North Korea). They think the death of Kim Jong is a good event, which gives North Korea a chance to develope.

v     In the first sentence, the writer with negative attitude tried to make the case of Kim Jong is different without evidence

v     Few countries….and some countries: unclear, vague

v     The statement of Australia’s leader implies in the leadership of Kim Jong, there are many ambiguous and wrong signaling.( according to his  own perception to blame Kim Jong without particular evidence)

v     Instead of sharing the pain with the death of Kim Jong, Australia’s and Germany’s minister supposed it was a good chance for North Korea.  It means the loss of Kim Jong is a good news not a bad one…( these statement is unfair, full of prejudice and show contempt Kim Jong )

v     In statement of Alain Juppe: he not only said about negative future of North Korea without particular evidences but also he forced and warned, threanten South Korea about nuclear program.
