Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of how media representations of Asians and Hispanics in the U.S. film and television industry have become less stereotypical in light of various trends.
From the Paper
"The values, beliefs and customs of the dominant group in society are often reinforced by social institutions like the government, business, education and the media. The establishment of images in the media reinforces the values of the dominant group in American society, primarily white male Anglo-Saxon Protestants. When immigrant groups or other cultures are portrayed in the media quite often their representation is portrayed as somehow inferior to the superior portrayals of the dominant cultural group."

Abstract
Introduction
One of the characteristic ways that human beings process information is to organize it in categories and use those categories to make sense of the world. According to Robert Emtman (1996), these stored categories, or schemas, are like mental filing cabinets which allow individuals to assimilate new information into categories of old information. The problem with this is that schemas can be unflattering stereotypes that resist change.

"Asian Women and the U.S. Media
Introduction
One of the characteristic ways that human beings process information is to organize it in categories and use those categories to make sense of the world. According to Robert Emtman (1996), these stored categories, or schemas, are like mental filing cabinets which allow individuals to assimilate new information into categories of old information. The problem with this is that schemas can be unflattering stereotypes that resist change. New data is simply assimilated with the old and seen as reinforcing it, in many instances.
The way that stereotypes operate is by organizing information about some racial group into a homogenous category, in which all, or most members of the group, are seen as..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the erroneous stereotyping and the situation of the overwhelming number of illegal aliens from Hispanic countries of origin have galvanized even more the schisms against the Hispanic population. The author points out that the language barrier is a huge problem because the Hispanic languages have several dialectic making it complex not only to learn each other's language but also to use in everyday intercourse; therefore, the whites and blacks simply ignore the problem, which drives the Hispanic even deeper into a clan type of lifestyle. The paper relates that some of the enterprising Hispanics do quickly establish retail outlets for the general population, which, because of the language barrier, are mostly patronized by other Hispanics; however, most of the products sold are American products.
From the Paper
"Hispanics account for almost 11% of the American population, numbering now over 30 million according to the U. S. Census Bureau. And, their numbers are expected to triple by the middle of the Century, accounting for nearly a quarter of America's population. These emphatic figures alone sustain the reality that the Hispanic is a consumer in America. It's a physical impossibility to sustain a population group of this massive size with products only from their native lands.
The census figures, although correctly account for the overall population of Hispanics in the United States it's what they don't say where many of the wrong impressions concerning this ethnic group as consumers in America seems to be coming from. For example, Hispanics tend to crowd into large metropolitan areas and thus create the normal overcrowding problems these areas experience."

Abstract
This paper explains that, as the largest growing minority group, it is essential that America's mental health experts identify the needs and implement programs, which will help Hispanic people gain access to mental health services and increase the likelihood that these services will be used. The author points out that the Hispanic population can experience some acculturation stress, which may result in a more difficult time seeking mental health services. The paper reveals that the main problems are associated with cultural and linguistic differences with counselors; however, Hispanics who had Hispanic, Spanish-speaking counselors were more likely to complete treatment. The paper includes several long quotations.

From the Paper
"Indeed, there are certain problems and limitations associated with mental health services and Hispanic access. According to Arellano (2004) the Surgeon General has reported that culture plays a significant role in administering mental health services to minority groups. The article explains that cultural factors tend to have an impact on all aspects of psychological health and illness. In addition, culture impacts how and whether individuals seek help, types of social supports and survival skills they utilize, types of help they seek, the shame attached to seeking psychological services, and, the definitions people correlate with their psychological problems."

From the Paper
"The best way to reach these immigrants (and their potential dollars) is through the distribution of radio commercials and staff-produced stories on Spanish-language radio programs. Moreover, because the country at large expects strong increases in the Hispanic people, media companies are spending large amounts of money hiring consultants to help them do a better job of reaching Hispanics (Medina, Saegert, & Gresham, 1996)."

Anti-Asianism in the U.S., 1993.
A look at prejudices, myths, socioeconomic racism, role of media, passivity, Japan-bashing, student discrimination, violence, Asian resistance and institutional bigotry.

From the Paper
"This study will examine anti-Asianism in the United States. Every source consulted for this analysis emphasizes the fact that Asian-Americans have suffered from anti-Asian prejudice of various sorts, from the subtle to the brutal. Why, then, is there so relatively little consciousness about this anti-Asianism in the United States?
Takaki writes that a major reason for this ignorance on the part of many observers is the glut of media coverage of the successes of Asian-Americans, which would seem to suggest that they could not be the victims of racism. As we read in Takaki's Strangers From A Different Shore:
Today Asian Americans are celebrated as America's "model minority." . . . The celebration of Asian-American achievements in the press has been echoed in the political realm ."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the under-regulated stock market, real estate ventures and currency instability in the Asian economy that resulted in world-wide financial crisis. This paper explores the events in the stock markets in Thailand, Manila, Singapore and Hong Kong that were extremely profitable for a short time, only to crash soon after, leaving countless people owing billions of dollars and the economies of many Asian nations in shambles. The writer of this well-researched paper discusses how banks in the U.S. suffered greatly because of fraud in Singapore as well as in trading in derivatives, which when the various nations' economies sank, so did the value of these investments. This paper also examines the tug of war between Asian exports and imports and their impact on the American economy.

From the Paper
"A staid old British banking institution, Baring Brothers, decided to enter the Asian derivatives field, and so sent a number of young traders, including Nick Leeson, first to Indonesia, then, based on his success, to Singapore. He used this great distance from the home office to trade in his own account, using the firm's money, as well as investments from other international banks. Because of the volatility of the market (and natural disasters like the Kobe earthquake) he first made poor judgment calls which had him owing 170 million pounds (about. $225 million). At the end, he was in the red (or, rather Baring's was) in the amount of $1.5 billion. When discovered, he and his wife fled, but were eventually arrested. This one man's greedy fraud had caused Baring's to go bankrupt, and caused a ripple effect in the U.S. where similar derivatives investments turned sour."

Abstract
This paper discusses how since September 11, 2001, it has been painfully evident that the U.S. news media has been much more interested in promoting the Bush Administration than in being objective reporters of the news. Their abandonment of journalistic standards and integrity has had serious consequences, ranging from the disastrous war in Iraq to massive and systematic violations of our Constitution and our laws by the Bush Administration. The paper further discusses how despite overwhelmingly supportive media coverage, the Bush Administration's Iraq policies have been clearly based upon hype instead of facts. Before the war, many Americans and much of the international community suspected the Bush Administration of ulterior motives in Iraq and the Middle East.

"CROSS CULTURAL REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN'S SEXUALITY IN US MEDIA
Introduction
The following research paper will explore the cross cultural representation of women's sexuality in the U.S. media, with respect to white, black, Asian, and Hispanic women. A comparison of these groups will be included in the discussion.
Women's Sexuality in the U.S. Media
Women's sexuality in the media is reported to reflect the ideal body image or shape and this image is viewed as socially acceptable and therefore internalized by women. Research shows that the media image of a woman's body has changed over the last 20 years to include a decrease in bust and hip measurements. Magazines have more articles on beauty and weight loss topics than before. Individual awareness of this sociocultural ..."

"The purpose of this research is to examine factors that led to changes in patterns of Asian American immigration in recent years. The plan of the research will be to set forth the background that makes exploration of these changes relevant and then to discuss the changes in more detail as well as the most important reasons that they came about.
The main factor of change in patterns of Asian immigration to America in the twentieth century can be summed up in two words from the title of the book edited by Ong, Bonacich, and Cheng: global restructuring, specifically shifts in the distribution of industrial priorities and division of labor for the benefit of holders and controllers of capital. Political policies can be seen to have played a role in this process, such as for example the Immigration Act ..."

From the Paper
"The media was the major source of information for Americans during the Second World War. In addition, the media created the image of Adolf Hitler as it was perceived by the average American during that time. News about the war was generally received from such sources as radio, newspapers, magazines, and newsreels. These media were also responsible for selling Hitler to the American public. In a way, they acted as propaganda for stirring up American support for the war effort in Europe. The news presentations of Hitler, particularly after the start of World War II, usually showed him as a threat to world peace. The clear message was that Hitler needed to be stopped in order for democracy and freedom to be preserved."

"Since late in 1989, when the walls of the Moscow Kremlin began to open up to democratic reform, western journalists have heralded the "end of the Cold War." With such terms as perestroika and glasnost almost as much a part of the western vocabulary as they are the Soviet, a renewed interest is blooming into the origins, legacy, and intricacies of an undeclared war of words, deeds, sanctions, and rhetoric that has lasted at least since 1945. In fact, many western journalists, for example those in Time magazine, laud Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev as the man who brought the walls of the Cold War impasse down.
With the advent of what many term to be the end of the Cold War, one is naturally concerned with its beginnings. One way to view the mounting tensions of the early period just after World War II is to examine the press coverage in the United States ... "

"Until the late 1970s, few Americans knew or cared much about Iran. Then, with the fall of the Shah's regime, the rise of the Khomeini revolution, and the 1979-1980 hostage crisis, Iran became a central preoccupation of the American public and of U.S. political life.
The chief source of news and opinion on Iran for most Americans throughout this period was the mainstream press. In principle the press was independent of both government policy and popular opinion, and broadly objective. In fact, however, the mainstream press shared the ignorance and the ideological blinders of the government it was supposed to be independent of, and of the public it was supposed to inform.
This study makes a qualitative comparative analysis of official positions on Iran through this period, as drawn from the..."

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the depiction and treatment of Japanese culture and society in the American popular media during the year 1948. At that time, the United States had recently attained victory over the Japanese in World War Two. In various ways, the forces of the American occupation were trying to reshape Japanese society in order to prevent another war from breaking out in the future. During the Second World War, the Japanese people had proven themselves to be relentless in obeying the dictates of their Emperor. Most Americans believed that the Japanese invasion would have not been stopped had it not been for the devastating impact of the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945. Thus, in the years following the war, many Americans were concerned about the possibility of the Japanese regaining their military power. In addition, there was..."

"This research will examine United States media coverage of the People?s Republic of China for the month of April 1999. The research will set forth the context in which media coverage of China has become relevant to an understanding of how American press organizations function and then discuss the amount, placement, point of view, level and kind of bias, and general themes that can be discerned in the coverage given China by newspapers of record.
The visit of Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji to the United States in April 1999 provides a contextual hub for examination of China coverage by the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. Zhu visited the White House and President Clinton on April 8, and in the weeks both before and after the visit both newspapers dealt with U.S.-China relations from a variety of perspectives. The first..."
