Assignment:

Speculate on the effects of disparagement humor. Do you think that this type of humor is a positive indication of how far we have come as a society that we are now able to make fun of the absurd stereotypical beliefs of the past, or do you see negative social consequences to this type of humor? Does the media legitimize these stereotypes? Does exposure to this sort of humor set us up for a norm of tolerance that allows for the degradation of others and serves to perpetuate prejudice?
