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.…
The definition of a stereotype is “…a fixed, over generalized belief about a particular group or class of people.” (Cardwell, 1996). A stereotype is used to simplify our social world. It is used to make meeting new people easier; since it reduces the amount of processing that needs to be done when meeting them (McLeod, 2008). The most common stereotypes that are being used in daily lives are gender and racial stereotypes.…

America was founded by the founding fathers under the principles that “all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.'' (Corley.1) Throughout the years, we as a nation have not exercised this belief and instead discriminated each other greatly. This led to much destruction on our very own streets where even many innocent people and bystanders have lost their lives. My vision for America is to come together as a nation and put an end to discrimination amongst women, differences of religion and how races are stereotyped in our society today.…

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.…
The title Miss Representation is the first clue as to the content of the documentary will center on: the play on words of “misrepresentation” vs “Miss Representation” gives the sense of beauty pageant, in which women (although some pageants include contestants as young as toddlers) compete to win a superficial title based primarily on looks. The premise of the documentary is to reveals the complexities of women’s role in society, and the double standards that create the gap between the reality of women’s appearances and self-esteem, and the media portrayal of women’s bodies, which are – as the title indicates – severely misrepresented. In the film, there are several examples of the disparities between what is expected of women and the reality…
In my world I see both sincerity and authentic behaviors, but I feel like I’m in the sincerity side. Some examples on that side are realness, simple, meaningful, lyrics, truthfulness, and honesty and on the other side there’s brand, reputation, catchy, self-interest, and corporate. The reason that I believe I am more on the sincerity side is because I am always honest and sometimes it comes out really rude by accident, If I do something bad I have to tell my mom, one time I made a very bad choice at my brothers party and that night I felt so guilty so the next day I had to tell my mom. When I am listening to music a lot of the lyrics in the songs I can relate to and they have a very strong meaning like in the song I’m way to good at goodbyes…
We use of stereotypes all the time without knowing it. Stereotypes are learned through direct observation from the culture around us and enter our consciousness. In our society talks out loud about egalitarianism, equality and justice as our own values, but at the same time such equality exists only as an ideal. There is still a great unconscious level of prejudice in our society that effect of racial, gender micro-aggression. The overtly biased expresses through our expressions, stance, verbal and nonverbal communication, and eye contact we make.…
