One of the sections that I enjoyed reading in this chapter was about the remote control settings. The one particular spoke about "stereotype alert offers a warning when people, events, or characters are presented in ways that are so typical that they seem ordinary and even banal, as when we see politicians represented in ways that make them seem phony, or blondes and athletes that are depicted as dumb." The point to the remote control is to help students to learn how to develop their critical analysis skills. Often we are overwhelmed with media sources showing us so much information that we just believe what we see and stop questioning.
Cover girl is famous for advertising their products so that those viewing will believe that they will look like that is they buy and use that product. Most companies do this with all products. We have to be smart consumers and use critical analysis.
