Stereotypes Of Family

Improved Essays
Family is a very important influence, if at some point I have a family of my own I will only be mildly prepared. I’m not completely clueless about how to raise a family, but I don’t know everything about it either. I do not plan on having a family any time soon but I think it will be a shock to reality at first. Having a family of my own will definitely put a nice ankle weight on my free flying self. Whether this weight be positive or negative at the point when it comes I hope that it will gradually get lighter when I gain strength the muscles I need to walk with that weight. I will be an influence to someone and I know that at that point I need to watch what I do, say, and how I respond. What is thought of family by stereotype is two parents

    According to http://durhamnc.gov/386/Demographics fourty percent of Durham County citizens are of African American descent. 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. However, by being in such a biased city it makes me want to branch out more and not only learn but accept other cultures.

    Asian Family Stereotypes

    Many studies on family and race, specifically Asians prove that people’s lives are structured in a certain way and have a clear impact on their life chances. Although these statements are true and relatable on a personal level, some of these facts are beginning to wane away. An example of this would be a quote from Yen-Chun Cheryl Chen and Jui-Chung Allen Li “the father-son axis is fundamental to the family relations in East Asian societies,” (62) this must have been true for past generations but a lot of time has passed since then, which renders this statement false. On the other hand, a statement that still seems relevant comes from Kimberly Goyette and Yu Xie “distinct Asian American groups have higher educational expectations than do…

    Stereotypes In America

    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.…

A lot of people get the wrong idea of a person just by their skin color and assume they come from a particular culture. That’s how a lot of people get insulted and don’t want to speak to you. Ethnicity defines what you believe in and where your ancestors can from.…
