Media and Education Policies and the American Dream
of meritocracy by over representing a portion of the population in positions of
power – most notably white, male or domestically born – they also perpetuate
the idea that the failure to achieve the American Dream can be attributed to
individual shortcomings.
Provide specific examples of how media and education support
the idea of meritocracy and also how these institutions may have actually
prevent groups from succeeding in society?
How are the two institutions of education and media similar
and how are they different when it comes to these issues?
