Answer 1

The main idea of this article is how visual media that is on screen portrayal of marginalized on television and movies have an impact on the self identity of the individuals belonging to these sections in the society.

This article explains the importance of on screen representation marginalized sections on the self identities of people belonging to these sections. When individuals of marginalized sections are not represented appropriately in means of visual media, it creates a low self-esteem and a sense of unimportance in the society. This is because they feel under-represented through the different characters to whom they can relate to. When these characters are not given fair treatment and presented with prejudices and stereotypes people relating to them also feel discriminated and unimportant in the society. And when the on screen representation of the characters of marginalized sections are fairly treated, presented without any discrimination, as the protagonists, the individuals feel a secure sense of identity in the society. Hence, the on screen representation of people from marginalized sections should chosen appropriately, should be justified and treated with equality and dignity. Also, the materials of news and media reports should have appropriate and proper representation of the marginalized sections so that there is harmony, peace and growth of the society, and all should be equally represented and treated in these media platforms.
