What are the stereotypes of ideal Bangladeshi Man?
Answer:
The main stereotypes of Bangladeshi woman are given below:
v He goes outside can stay outside for longtime.
v He plays with ball and cars.
v He does not think about cooking.
v He does like to look after his children
v He very angry.
v He gets the power to take his own decisions.

v He does not bother about his clothing much.
There are so many points I can mention but I think all the stereotypes are same like other male and female living around the world. But I think the major points are almost written by me. The situations of girls are changing in Bangladesh. The urban Bangladeshi girls are wearing western dresses, gets education facilities etc. So I got a bit confused what the “Ideal” stereotypes should be!! But suddenly I remembered that the village women are still maintaining the original stereotypes of Bangladeshi woman.

According to “Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English” Power is the ability or right to control people or events. In this blog I have tried my best to express different kinds of power around me from my point of view.
• Power over others: “Power over others” means the power to rule others. Such as; Teacher has a power to rule his or her students; Parents have the power to punish their children when they are doing something wrong. I see these criteria around me always.
• Cooperative power: When powerful association or powerful people are cooperated together and create a more powerful identity is called “Cooperative power”. For example; The daily “Prothom Aloo” and “ABC Radio” are the attached together for news presentation under the “Transcom group” in Bdangladesh. Here these two types of media(Electronic-Radio & Print-Newspaper)are working together to collect news around my country.
• The power to realize desires or needs: Every human being has the ability to realize his or her needs. They use their internal power when they want to get their needs. For example; I have a power inside me which make me able to understand what I want and why I want.
• Impersonal power relation: People usually have a dominant ideology inside them. Such as: Sometimes they start fighting when their ideology is misinformed. This type of power is called “Impersonal power relation”.

Recently I saw a film named “Wag the Dog” which was released in 1997. I got the opportunity to see such a funny, interesting and an informative film by my “Reading media text” course. After watching the film the point of view of mine is changed about media and how media presents the reality in front of us. Here I saw the great power of media influencing our life and how we are depended on it. The dialogues were very funny most of the time but it gave us a clear view of video editing and news making with false or unrealistic information. It will help me to work with media after watching the movie. Though it showed a very dark part of media as a negative area of human life but still I am confused whether this types of things really happens in real life or not. Anyway I enjoyed the film though the ending was very normal and predictable. I was wondering that the producer would be killed and he was. The movie was interesting for me because I have never seen a movie based on this kind of topic. It was fun to see how a war-story was just been created by some celebrities. Reality is not always what we see or being told. So what is reality?……………………………….

What do I think about this course is about?
Answer: After attending some classes of this course I think this is a course about media texts which include both Print media and Electronic media. The name of this course is “Reading Media Text”. It is a very interesting topic for me as I am a “Media” student. It is a course about how media is related in our life and how the terms of media sometimes controlled by the society. Culture differs by one country to another country. So the point of view varies from person to person. This course will give us a general idea about critical analysis of culture and media. We will be introduced with different types of media instruments and new technologies. Day by day the world is getting on more depended on media. The mass media controlled the situation of life. For example: good news can make a crowd cheer. Sometimes false news can make a good situation worst.
So we will know these media terms and our perspectives towards the new media by this course. Overall this course is a course where we will know ourselves.
