The Impact of TV on the self-image and Perceptions of Upper Egyptians

Since "the media are symbol transmitters", it usually shows the ethnic groups in stereotypes without searching for the "whys" and "whereabouts" of the social, political, and geographical contexts that might lead to these stereotypes. This study is a comparative study that examines the cultivation hypotheses to determine the impact of television viewership on both the self-image of the Upper Egyptians, and how they were perceived by the Cairenes.
