    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.

    On September 11, 2001, a massive terrorist attack changed and shaped America. During 9/11, several airline flights crashed into various areas and hit different landmarks, including The World Trade Centers, The Pentagon, and a grassy terrain in Pennsylvania. Al Qaeda, a worldwide Islamic terrorist group, claimed responsibility for the attacks. Their attacks hugely impacted the country's security, helping put forth stricter rules and regulations. In addition to the increase in security, 9/11 placed a discrimination divide for Muslims in the U.S. and started the long lasting war on terrorism.…

    “I don’t have a gun. Stop shooting,” were the last words said by Michael Brown, an 18-year-old from Ferguson, MO, who was shot by cops at least six times (Chuck). He had his hands in the air, was unarmed, and complied with police commands. However, his life was still brutally ended by the officer, Darren Wilson. Wilson, and the other cops who have committed brutal acts of violence or even murdered nonwhite citizens who haven’t been dangerous or a risk of safety have committed these actions because of close mindedness, exceptionalism, and the belief of many stereotypes that say that nonwhites are more likely to commit a crime or be dangerous than whites.…

    In the past decade, there have been numerous accounts of vicious attacks against Muslims men and women, who are being specifically targeted because of their faith. These ethnic and religious tensions have been brewing in the United States primarily since the large influx of immigrants in the 1980s and 1990s, but were severely heightened after the events occurring on September 11, 2001. Every man wearing a turban or every woman wearing a hijab was merely perceived as a menacing terrorist rather than a human being, as their religion was associated with the actions of Al-Qaeda. However, more recently there has been another major event broadcasting the still present Islamophobia around the world, even fourteen years after the 9/11 attacks. On January…

    I attended the Beyond Burkas and Bombers discussion. We watched the Beyond Burkas and Bombers documentary which showed Muslim Americans talk about how their lives changed when 911 occurred. Life was never the same afterwards and many Americans grew an irrational hatred of an entire faith. Everything evil and bad was associated with anything Muslim or possibly related to being Muslim. Often Muslim Americans must answer the questions for a few individuals that committed these terrorist acts.…

    With the use of context clues the reader can come to the conclusion that Goldberg finds the rise in anti-Islamic incidents justifiable (because of the 9/11 attacks). Goldberg’s argument becomes definitional. Goldberg states, “Sure, even one hate crime is too many. But does that sound like an anti-Muslim backlash to you?” An analysis of the article reveals a bias which affects the readers’ view of Goldberg.…

    Subsequently, Muslim immigrants from Middle East countries become a national security concern because of their ties with terrorism, their refusal to assimilate in western society, their religion intent to spread jihad globally, and most importantly their practice of sharia law that enslaves women to men out of their country of origin. Muslims preach that Islam is a peaceful religion, but yet it is suspicious to accept that Islam is peaceful, although not every Muslim is a terrorist, however, every terrorist is a Muslim or somehow has Muslim background. Immigration become an issue because of the many crimes some immigrants bring with them. Furthermore, Borders are recognized demarcations of a sovereign country.…

    It is evident that America is a melting pot and always has been a country with diverse groups of people. Due to the increasing racial and ethnic diversity, people are labeled and grouped into categories mainly for convenience and familiarity (Healey & O’Brien, 2015). Over the course of this semester, I have learned numerous terms, concepts, and theories concerning minority groups in the United States. Of those things, the most intriguing and eye opening information that struck a chord inside of me concerned the stereotypes that affect minority groups, in addition to the prejudice and discrimination these group members face. Before this course, I had heard many stereotypes, joked about and ran from them, but it never occurred to me how detrimental…

    In Rebecca Skloot’s book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, racial stereotyping against minority patients is predominant in every aspect of health care. Many of these stereotypes in Skloot’s book painted blacks as unintelligent and vulnerable and led to many doctors taking advantage of their patients. Henrietta Lacks was one of these patients and unfortunately doctors made millions off of her cancerous cervix cells without her informed consent. Her cells, named HeLa cells, helped cure the polio virus and contributed to numerous other medical findings, but her and her family received none of the money earned from HeLa cells. Unfortunately, stereotyping based on race still occurs today and it has affected the lives of others terribly just like they did to Henrietta in the 1950s.…
