1. The discussion of myth by Fiske basically plays into stereotypes. Fiske discusses the classic roles of women and men and sees those roles as 'myths.' To me, a myth is a falsehood, or an exaggerated story, and the idea that advertising has a role in changing and determining those roles interests me since that is the field I want to work in.
2. I also found the facts on scientists portrayed on television interesting. The fact that they are seen as 'deceitful, evil, and irreligious' suggests that as a culture, we see science as a bad thing, when in fact it is quite the opposite. That study was pretty old so I'm curious if the numbers have changed now.
