Portraying negative images of certain groups in television can act as a form of social critique and criticism. This negative representation can make viewers more aware of the bias and prejudice that exists in our society, reducing its influence. Additionally, it encourages more discussion around the topics brought up by TV shows, including social inequality and marginalization. These critical conversations help to create a more conscious culture where all people are accepted and celebrated.

TV shows often use the collective power of their storylines, characters and imagery to influence how we view each other. By negatively portraying certain groups, shows can benefit society by limiting their presence as leaders or decision makers, which could potentially lead to creating a more inclusive culture and reducing social tension. This is particularly important now when minority groups are striving for greater representation in areas that they have historically been excluded from. Additionally, these portrayals may help viewers challenge outdated ideas and stereotypes that exist about certain groups within our society, thus helping to shift the understanding and perception of those groups over time.
