Is it less harmful for a group to be misrepresented by the media than underrepresented?

Please join the Phi Kappa Literary Society this Thursday February 5th at 7pm on at Phi Kappa Hall on North Campus as we take on the resolution BIHR: It is less harmful for a group to be misrepresented than underrepresented by the media. 

First Affirm will be Sister Hammond, and First Negate will be Sister Owens.

We will be using the following definitions: 

• less harmful: causing fewer damages comparatively, especially in social, political, and mental repercussions
• group: a marginalized number of people considered or classed together based on a similar characteristic such as, race or gender
• misrepresented: portrayed in a false or misleading way; images and representations do not account for a variety types in the group.
• underrepresented: insufficient or inadequate in quantity (of representation) 
• media: means of mass communication (including but not limited to television, radio, newspaper, and websites)
