ITEM 1

Discrimination

Analysis: There are one white woman and four black men in the photo. She is very striking and is central point of the photo. Only the woman looks at a camera. Specially, the other men being strong stand around her and have the lower position. We can see that the white woman is more respected than the black men. Clearly, the black men are only background for the white men performing in front of the camera. Obviously, there is a discrimination between white people and black ones.

ITEM 2

 Stereotype and assumption

Analyze:  the picture gives new method to reduce accidents. There are two seatbelts.  Meanwhile, a seatbelt across a mouth of the woman for prevent her from saying.

Stereotype: People always think that women are talkative and that is one of the reasons causing accidents. On the other word, in order to reduce accidents, we should prevent women from saying when driver is driving. In fact, it is not true that all women are talkative and women are one of main reasons which cause accidents.

Assumption: "45% less car accidents" is not an exact statistic because of the shortage of envidences.  Moreover,  the accidents happen for many other reasons such as the bad weather, the carelessness of the driver, the error of brake,  etc... That is a conclusion based on limited information

ITEM 3

‘ The debate on immigration is an angry one, filled with anxiety, prejudice and extreme positions. Immigration is said to lead to an increase in crime rates, because the immigrants are often poor, undereducated and not well adjusted to their host community. Illegal immigrants, especially, are believed to be overrepresented in crime statistics because they are hard to track down, have no official residence, and can easily escape across the border.’
