In the media industry in almost every single film or TV series there seems to be a social stereotype. Stereotypes are basically how society categorizes people based upon observations and assumptions. Stereotyping people isn't always correct or nice, however, it is almost automatic for people to make judgments on others based on certain features or characteristics. Often in old fashioned films there was a ditsy blonde woman who always got things wrong and was completely dependent on the man, she was a stereotypical 'stupid' woman. However, in more recent times anti-stereotypes have become more common. For example Katniss, from The Hunger Games trilogy is an anti-stereotype as she is strong, independent and does not need a man to take care of her.
