with whom we feel kinship are said to be self-objects. Self-objects are usually developmentally because they help people feel understood and cared for, (Lynch) and they facilitate self-understanding by helping people make sense of their own experiences (Bertelson, All in Empathic Resonance and Meryl Streep, para 4). I am going to describe the emotional connection the characters bring through the T.V. for viewers to feel the emotions they are going through. Seven, the game show theory shows the contestants winning games and money, and the contestants have to demonstrate a level of skill. The game show plays out the American Dream (Teacher Notes, para 1). I will discuss how this theory is described in the losing situation and its consequences.

The majority of actors and actresses presented in media are usually white. There are other races shown in media, but only a small percentage. In this particular show, out of all the races that could have been used all the characters were white males, except for one Asian female. The Asian female was a part of the college Ghost Facers team. The woman did not talk much, there were only a few scenes where she was in dialogue with another character. For the majority, she was in the background, not shown frequently and quiet. The scene where she is roaming around the Morton house, she was afraid, uneasy, and not brave. A man had to be by her side the whole time, to protect her and keep her safe. She was not allowed to walk around the haunted house without someone with her. This made her look unintelligent, because she could not speak for her own or even do things on her own without a man with her. This is where medias three roles come into play. The media appoints leaders to speak for all the racial or stereotypical group (Teacher Notes Race & T.V., Media has 3 roles to play). The one Asian women in the show was then viewed as the leader to speak for all of her initial race. Which is not fair because not every Asian female is scared, skittish and needs a man to protect her. This then leads to media marginalizing (Teacher Notes Race & T.V., Media has 3 roles to play). This is done by treating the race or person as insignificant or peripheral. It was obvious that the white men ruled the show. The makers made it seem as if the Asian women was not of significance in being in the show. Lastly, the media presents stereotypes (Teacher Notes Race & T.V. Media has 3 roles to play). Media made the show come off as all Asian women are fearful and not willing to take a risk. Also, the stereotype of the woman not being smart enough to do anything on her own. She is weak and unintelligent, she needs a man to entail her
