    Negative attitudes and stereotypes are a part of society; they become bigger issues when these thoughts and beliefs turn into actions, such as discrimination and aggression. Over the last decade strides have been made to change societal ideals and norms but research shows discrimination among particular groups remains high. The results of a study done by The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force shows that members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community experience high rates of discrimination and violence (Grant et al., 2011).

Albert likes pink, has a high voice, flamboyant, walks in a gay aspect, gay handshake, gay walk, and art that portray a gay image. He also dresses like a women, but most straight men don’t dress as women. They also show gay people as being very sensitive, like when Albert was upset that Armand wouldn’t notice his weight fluctuation. Another image is that gay people are involved in drag, which isn’t always true, but I got that impression from the movie.…

    APPENDIX C: STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS WRITERS AND EDITORS Those who produce BuzzFeed’s content would be most severely affected by a position on the sexual objectification of men/women. An official position means they would be more limited in terms of the content they can produce. Writers may have their own personal views on the issue, but would be obligated to follow company policy. BuzzFeed’s current Editorial Standards and Ethics Guide currently states “nudity or sex should be avoided if it’s prurient or pornographic” and that for a number of issues, including women’s rights, “there are not two sides”.…

With that being said fourty eight percent of Durham County residents are of Caucasian American descent this leaves a small area for other races like Native American’s , Asian American’s, Hispanic Americans and countless others to fill.

I think if people are educated about suicide and how they can empower themselves and others, the risk of suicide will decrease. In Brave New World, one of the main characters, John, commits suicide. John’s suicide was very impromptu as one might say because it was not planned; it was a sudden thing to occur.…

    There are many categories of stereotypes. There are those that society embraces and facilitates, those that are formed by groups of people with regard to themselves and others, and finally there are your own personal stereotypes that you apply to people in any given situation. They can, in some circumstances, be positive but for the most part they are negative thus giving the wrong impression of who people are and how they truly act. I think on a whole, most people know that it is wrong to use stereotypes to judge people in a negative manner, yet so many of us fail to even realize that we are using stereotypes. Unless you are someone who has been or is directly affected, on a regular basis, by a stereotype I think most of society never thinks…
