Stereotypes are everywhere in the world. Our ridged expectations of a community are sometimes all we know about that certain group. The students had a preconceived idea about the Harvard students being snobby and the Law students thought the students would not take the task seriously. This chapter really hit on many stereotypes throughout the chapter and how powerful it can be when stereotypes are broken. I would never think to take my class on a field trip to a courthouse to participate in a mock trial.…
Jenna, As for the PowerPoint, I really liked how you included both audio notes and written notes. The audio clips explaining the video clips were also helpful! As for the analysis of Radio, I found your social model examples interesting. Especially the film clip where the football team boys trick Radio into going into the girl’s locker room.…
Can you think of any real-world contexts in which automatic stereotypes might have a detrimental effect on how whites treats blacks? Some real-world contexts in which automatic stereotypes might have a detrimental effect on the way whites treats blacks would be the police shooting on black men. Stereotyping has lead to some police officers think that black men are all the same thieves and hoodlums. This leads to detrimental effects because a police officer that views back men in this way, changes his behavior to be more aggressive then he might have been with a white person.…
We could be making a complete false judgement on someone based off their appearance. A lot of stereotypes come from making judgements on the poor, working, and middle classes. There are pros and cons of stereotypes and the ways that we live up to them. Stereotypes can have a negative outcome on someone’s life, but they can help us in…
He was bullied. In a school, where certain students get criticized for what they do. Being a teenager, I thought they were just fooling around, but the others might not look it that way. They took it as a joke, but he took it as an insult. For having a few problems wrong, doesn’t mean he should be called out for it.…
Zick woke up in his bed with a start, staring at the opposite wall. He stood up grabbing the pants he wore the previous day off the floor throwing them on and grabbing a shirt and lab coat out of his closet. His stomach gurgling as he realizes he hasn’t eaten since yesterday morning. zick opens his door and walks into the hallway shutting the door behind him. He whispers quietly to himself, “i wonder whats for breakfast?”…
Everyone in their life has stereotyped another race or ethnicity. Some can be general knowledge and some can be things we have heard about them either from the media or an encounter you had with a someone part of the race or even ethnicity. Racial stereotypes are false images that people hold about all members of a particular race or ethnicty. In America, we have different racial groups and as well as ethnicity. Racial groups can be defined as a group of people that is said to be different from others because of physical or genetic traits shared among them in the group while ethnicity can be defined as a group of people that shares a common culture, religion or language.…
Stereotypes are very prevalent in the United States today. Throughout my life I have seen these stereotypes. In high school, I went to a predominantly black school and I witnessed not only myself, but also my friends being put into a certain group because of our skin color. When we would go play basketball we would be known as the “white boys” and all people thought we could do was shoot. I thought that maybe it was because they had never seen us before, but then my opinion changed.…
Stereotypes have played a very decisive role in our society. They have been brought up by multiple crucial factors that started this plague from the dawn of times which is Racism and Discrimination.

On an episode, of 20/20 they have depicted on how Stereotypes affect a person’s ability to complete a task, why some people are racist and Stereotype others.…
I believe that only you should only breed rabbits, like dogs and cats. A responsible breeder only breeds when they have room for the babies and know what they are going to do with the offspring. For instance, I breed rabbits for show, pets, and meat, when I have a litter born I first sort through them for show quality and if I want to keep them for breeders. The ones I do not keep will be put up for sale between the show community first, then as pets, and if I still have babies left, I grow them out and butcher them for meat. I always have a backup plan.…
Section 1: Stereotypical Beliefs about a Human Diversity Group The human diversity group I want to discuss is the Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Queer (LGBTQ). In my younger years I was taught by my parents specially my father that we cannot trust the lesbians and gays. In their stereotype perspective they were not normal people and it was against our catholic religion beliefs. Plus, my parents were more conservative and they never talk about what was prohibit.…
Stereotypes, labels and generalizations are all things that have influenced how I view myself and others. That’s not the way my parents wanted it , but society is inevitable. Growing up in the suburbs of outer Columbus allowed me to see more diversity than most Ohioans see at a young age. I’ve lived in the same house my whole life in a neighborhood of many cultures. My neighborhood gang of friends during elementary included seven kids with three different races between us.…
I wrote my argument piece last November on the idea that single sex schools and classrooms reinforce stereotypes. I believe that overall my assignment was very persuasive and I made some very convincing points. I talked about how in single sex schools, tomboys would not be able to have the chance to hang around with and talk to boys that they may want to do. This point is very personal and any tomboys who would read my presentation would understand what it would feel like. The quote is very meaningful and I’m sure many people would be able to relate to it.…

We are all the objects of stereotypes at some point in our lives and they affect us in many ways. We are influenced by the world around us to be what everyone wants to see, not who we really…
