Today's world has become quite a diverse place. People of any color, race, or ethnicity can go to the same school, restaurant, bathroom, and even date. The world is constantly changing and learning from its diverse inhabitants, so why hasn't the media kept up with the rest of the world? Race has increasingly become this social concept that the media has embraced and followed. By inspiring millions of people, the media constantly transforms assumptions about particular groups of people into “reality.” (Media Stereotypes) The media often poorly portrays minorities in television shows or movies, which in most cases are demeaning to that particular race or ethnicity. This inferiority placed on the shoulders of people of color has turned into an even bigger problem than being marginalized from the world. The world began to construct ideas and interpretations of people, mostly false, called stereotypes. The world is often confused with the idea of ​​embracing the stereotypes that people have fabricated, regarding the diversity of its inhabitants. As the media becomes more and more involved in the stereotypes present in the world today, they not only instigate unnecessary situations, but they also insert these social concepts into the brains of millions of people. Stereotypes have caused this violent and tense world in today's life. The media took advantage of this social concept that people call racism and caused more than hurt feelings. In the article Mass Media and Racism by Stephen Balkaran, he recalls that the media focused on the negative aspects of the black community such as things like drug use, criminal activity, and welfare abuse. Instead of focusing on the great African American activist and… in the middle of the paper… they started taking risks and figuring things out on their own. The color made Pleasantville much more diverse, but the people who were still black and white despised the change and segregated the “colored people.” However the black people were just like them until they began to learn and break the routine of Pleasantville, which made them unique. Their unique personalities made them colorful. The people of Pleasantville who rejected change changed their minds quickly even when they changed color, leading one to think that it is the color they are afraid of or is it the idea of ​​change? People play an important role in this racism problem that people continue to face on a daily basis. People instigate situations and gang up to feel superior to minorities and further encourage white people to make people of color feel inferior to the change that diversity has brought to the world.
