To introduce students to the organizations, codes and guidelines that govern the broadcasting industry in Canada and to familiarize them with the regulatory process that exists to deal with complaints and issues within the industry.

This lesson helps students become more aware of the stereotypes associated with portrayals of students and teachers on television and on film.

This is the first of three lessons that address gender stereotypes. The objective of this lesson is to encourage students to develop their own critical intelligence with regard to culturally inherited stereotypes, and to the images presented in the media - film and television, rock music, newspapers and magazines.

In this lesson students consider how well their favourite TV shows, movies and video games reflect the diversity of Canadian society.
