Negative Impacts
 Caso Cerrado is an ACTED show where they hire people thru talent agencies to "ACT" as
plaintiffs and defendants, trying to imitate real judge shows like People's court and Judge
Judy, which are REAL shows
 If this was a real program, first, she would have to wear a judge's robe
 Second, the security guard would have to be a bailiff, sheriff, constable, or other appointed
county police officer
 Third, she "caresses" and "comforts" people, especially "young women" on the show as
though she is "helping" them. REAL judges are NOT allowed to touch anyone –
(Supposedly she is a lesbian)
 Fourth, she has dancing and all other sorts of events which are not allowed in courts
 exhibits many Hispanics as „out there‟ and it ultimately exploits people with undermining
the importance of being in the court system

HISPANIC WOMEN IN THE MEDIA

dependent.

Advertisement Examples
 Frito-Lay: “Frito Bandito” Mexicans
depicted as thieves.

“feenishes” anything; Mexicans are too
lazy to improve.
 Lark (Ligget & Meyers): Mexican
covered in paint, depicting a sloppy

and are violent

Conclusion
 Latinos have been a growing minority and will soon become the
majority in the US. The US is known as a melting pot but it has
not truly accepted subordinate cultures into its dominant one
until more recently. It is noted that the effects of Latinos on
American culture will be longstanding and the many video
games, TV shows, and films will continue to win awards and
perhaps the Latin Grammys wont be a separate occasion in the
future. Hopefully stereotypes can change again, just as it from
lazy Mexican to Latin Lover. Maybe one day day we will be
portrayed as the successful business man.
