Mi Corazon Insiste: What is the media portraying through telenovelas?

I viewed the telenovela Mi Corazon Insiste. In my opinion, the media reflects this telenovela in a where it actually reflects reality. A mirror is represented through this telenovela. Within one minute of an episode, I noticed the intensity between a male and female figure. The male would forcefully push the female. This demonstrates actual abuse. I am surprised that the producer included this as a part of the telenovela because the media loves to praise male figures; at least in American soap operas and sitcoms. The male is usually seen as the good guy where the female is usually portrayed as wrong in most media. The telenovela included a young boy in the show. The boy appeared as humble and scared throughout the episode. This represents the little say that children have in most situations that are actually affecting them. The aspect of regulation is questionable throughout. One of the dominant male figures in the telenovela could possibly create a change within society. By the male “abusing” the female, society may see the situation as acceptable. Rather than a verbal discussion, fights occurred and even gun use. This telenovela really affects viewers today, especially individuals of young ages. Characters intend to play the roles throughout this telenovela to seem more believable however it can really shape society in a different way. The actions in many scenes in the telenovela are possible. They happen to many people today. However the media should sometimes shine light on a situation to provide a better outlook from viewers to prove that only certain behaviors and actions within society are acceptable. Yes, the characters are attractive, but the image that the media is portraying is essentially important.
