Establishing a research question

 In this seminar we talked about formulating a question for our up and coming 3000 word essay this could be anything and must be able to link or compare to animation.

Form my question I have chosen the subject of stereotyping people in relation to real life, my following question is :

Why are stereotypes featured in animations and how are they perceived ?

I chose this subject because I strongly feel over the years that stereotyping has played a big part in TV and broadcasting, I would like to highlight the facts and my understanding of stereotypes and how people are generally perceived through animation as a media and the links draw through previous history, where it has steamed from and why, what are peoples perceptions of this issue.
