Racialisation:
Race is a social construction and does not exist outside of representation. Historical formation of race occupies structurally subordinate positions.
As with all things, the media institutions control how we see race and third world countries. They can then use this to control how we feel about them for instance the way that they show charities affecting third world countries is done to make us feel as though we are making a large positive impact on the country.
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/asia:- this webiste shows the east as being a place of a well preserved ancient culture. It focuses on displaying examples of this culture by showing landmarks such as the great wall of china.
http://www.destinasian.com/:- This website focuses more on showcasing the cities and attractions they contain as this is a website for travel in asia. this website is a good example of how the institution controls how we perceive something as the website perceies the website as being a great tourist destination with many attractions and hotels whilest not saying anything about anything else. this benefits the company as it may peursuade more people to use their services because of what they have seen on the website. this also helps fuel the stereotype of asia being a "perfect" travel destination.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world/asia/:- This website is focused on showing veiwers a mainly unbiased set of news relevent to asia. Of course, as many people use this site to learn more about asian news, this website controls how people see the countries current events and they can even censor events if they so choose, altering the perception of asian news and events.
Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
