Stereotype - Media industries use stereotypes because the audience will instantly understand them. Think of stereotypes as a visual shortcut. They're repeated so often that we assume they are normal or true.

Archetypes - This is the ultimate stereotype. For example, the white stiletto wearing, big busted, brainless, blonde bimbo.

Countertype - A representation that challenges traditional stereotypical associations of groups, people, or places.

Gatekeepers - control what is presented to us which is created by producers.
