Genre Analysis

Here's a prezi that I made of a criticism of The Cosby Show as an authentic representation of African-American families in media, specifically sitcoms.  It is really interesting to see the stereotypes that we, as a society, are taught by the media.  Especially interesting, in the case of sitcoms such as The Cosby Show, the stereoytpe of what African-American families were "supposed" to look like was attempted to be reconstructed. However, this new image of African-American families in many ways reinforced further racial stereotypes and illusions.
