How social groups are portrayed in the media!

What makes Canadians different from Americans? The fact that us Canadians have the courage to accept various cultures from around the world to form a multicultural soceity within Canada otherwise known as a mosaic. Whereas, in the United States make their soceity become one type of culture, otherwise known as a "melting pot." Where various cultures are brought into one pot and stirred into one form of liquid, a religion they must put forward before their own. However, after viewing all these aspects we can come to conclusion there are other things which seperate certain individuals within Canada such as social groups based on form of attire or cultural backgrounds. For example, when we walk into a school there are designated places where certain individuals hang out. Also the media has a very significant influence of certain social groups being portrayed and shown in the media through advertisments, movies and television shows. Although, the media plays a major role in representing certain social groups through stereotypical views, there will always be barriers between certain individuals in the world.
