Representation:







1) List the different people/groups represented in the trailer (men/women/Americans etc.)

  • One young Mixed raced american who is the victim in the clip. 
  • The group of kids who have are bullying the victim "jaden smith" 
  • The hero within this clip is jacie chan who stop them hurting the victim.  
2) For each group, decide whether the representation is a dominant or alternative portrayal.
As the child is the migrant in this scene the he is the alternative being bullied and picked on because of the lack of knowledge in Karate which has made the more older and knowledge students more dominate. However the second alternative is the fact that they have not mastered the technique of using this knowledge and are not being taught properly, this is because they are stopped by the hero "Jackie Chan" however the fact of the matter is they still try and fight him thinking that they will win which made him the alternative to the victim as he put them in their place and saving the child.   
3) What stereotypes can you identify in the trailer? The most understandable stereotype that is given to Asian people is that they all have the representations of knowing how to fight and are experts in karate, the young american who is less fortunate knowing this has got him being the alternative and is being bullied by them because he the out cast in china and is different to the rest.
