Sweeping the issues under the table
In today's society the media depicts racial issues in TV shows today. We are constantly overwhelmed with harmful and solicitous images and ideas. Especially young children and teens that spend most of their time on the internet and on the television. People now are still astonished by the interesting topic on racial statuses in TV shows. For example in 1968 there were disputes about what they called "breaking the racial barriers" in Star Trek when they displayed an interracial kiss between the fictional characters. Other TV shows and/or movies are "The Wizard of Oz". Notice that they've made a white version and a black version to get others input or perspective on two different types of cultures which perhaps in my case I found that the two movies were completely different. Also in the movie "Crash “portrays the intersecting lives of a diverse cross-section of LA residents. They had one scene where there had been a woman of color who had got in a car crash and a white police officer who wanted to help her out of the car before it caused a ruckus but she refused. The media today is deceiving people because the competition among producers and advertisers gets tougher as they try to come up with new ways to catch people’s attention. There are some television shows and movies that attempt to create an atmosphere to change the prospective of people towards social issues such as racial discrimination. These shows provoke criticism and tend to mislead the picture of reality.
