Donald Trump Stereotypes Analysis

In this essay, I will discuss chapter 12 and how it relates to Donald Trump. Discrimination is behaving differently, usually unfairly, toward the members of a group. Stereotypes are widely held beliefs that people have certain characteristics because of their membership in a particular group. Donald Trump gave a variety of speeches and after listening to his personal beliefs, I believe Donald Trump is racist. Donald Trump believes that Muslims are terrorists and they need to be kept far away from the United States. Also he bashes African-Americans and insults women. Donald Trump insulted all Muslim women which is a form of stereotyping when he said "Look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say.

Stereotypes are socially constructed, over-generalized views regarding a particular group of persons with certain characteristics that are widely accepted, and usually expected, in a society. The dominant group of a certain society, which in this case is probably Caucasians and men, usually creates these social constructions. Claude M. Steele, a researcher from Stanford University, performed multiple research studies on the idea and psychological effects of stereotypes on its victims. In his studies, he coins the term “stereotype threat” as the “social-psychological predicament that can arise from widely-known negative stereotypes about one's group,” which implies that “the existence of such a stereotype means that anything one does or any of one's features that conform to it make the stereotype more plausible as a self-characterization in the eyes of others, and perhaps even in one's own eyes” (Steele 797).

Currently, there is a problem with American’s. That problem is allowing themselves to be influenced by stereotypes. Stereotypes allow people to organize the world, but sometimes the stereotypes are negative. How do stereotypes affect the decisions of Americans about other people in their everyday lives?

Published by the New York Times under the Opinion section, the audience for this article is any interested reader. At the time it was released, November 18th, 2016, this article arrived during last year’s elections, in which a large, but surprising number of Americans voted for candidate Donald Trump, shocking many forecasters who had predicted otherwise. Therefore, after the election, many people may have been researching the demographics of the election, and this article, which briefly shared Brooks’ opinion on the nature of the election and how viewing others through the lens of a dominant identity influenced how the votes fell where they did, may have caught a keen reader’s eye. Also, this article came at a time where racism and prejudice caused many problems, leading some to view others as one-dimensional, represented only by a skin color or religion. Since prejudice and hate is still a large issue today, tackling this problem helps make this article relevant, nearly a year after its release.

Trump has been recently trying to clear his image as being racist, attempting to be favored by a Black and Latino audience by stopping at urban centers where his key voters congregate. He has been calling media attention on any black voters, to help shed his tainted image and changed his view on immigration wanting only the “bad ones” to leave the country. He even made the point adamant that he is not trying to hurt people, making him seem more for the people then against. He has tried to put the point across that what do Latino and Black voters “have to lose” as they are facing terrible poverty. Although Trump is trying to appeal to black voters, he has declined appearing in front of the NAACP convention.

In this paper, we are going to examine the stereotypes used by others to define mostly what are of common or personal thoughts toward a certain group of people or a generalized characteristic that thought to be in a group’s type. “When a writer or speaker lumps a group of individuals together under one name or description, especially one that begins with the word “the” (the liberal, the Communist, the right-winger, the Jew, the Catholic, and so on), such labeling generally results in stereotyping” (Moore and Parker, 2007, p. 122). Stereotypes are not in any way based on the actual provable facts of these individual’s. In fact, our textbook defines stereotype in this manner, “is a thought or image about a group of people based on little

In this world there are many things people are guilty of, one of those guilt’s is stereotyping others , even if it wasn’t meant in a harmful are negative way we all have been a victim or the aggressor . This paper will discuses what stereotypes are, how they affect people and how stereotypes can affect society. However, the common factor in either situation is that no good comes from stereotyping others.

I openly supported Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential elections—and no, I’m not racist, islamophobic, xenophobic, or any other beliefs in relation to those. Why am I forced to clarify that? You would be surprised at how some people, such as myself, constantly experience, amongst other things, being stereotyped as supporters of the aforestated solely due to conflicting beliefs. In a perfect society, one is able to freely voice their opinions without the fear of being labeled or judged by some as a result thereof. Sadly, that is not how our society is today.

Rhetoric pertains to the use of language to create an effectively persuasive argument. Stereotyping is taking the description of an individual and applying it to a group as a whole. There are many generalizations made when it comes to politicians, tattooed people, feminists, and elderly people. This essay will discuss stereotypes connected to each of these groups, explain the images and feelings these groups raise, if the stereotypes are positive, negative, or both. This essay will also discuss whether or not there is any truth to these

My perception when first seeing this image was immediately visioning the selfish acts and comments about other ethnicities that Donald Trump has stated throughout his campaign. I noticed the grumpy face, and also the targeted countries on the map. The map obviously makes it clear that Donald Trump views the world in his own personal perspective. First showing that he views two other areas on the map as “rapists” and “terrorists”. This is something that he has also stated in his speeches, these two areas being bad, and the individuals coming from these specific areas are making our (his) world bad. Not only that, but also the recent statement Donald Trump made towards Muslims. This statement is the lead to the topic of Trump being disqualified

I have heard of many of the stereotypes talked about in the Buzzfeed article and the TED talks about feminism and feminists. At minute 4 in her TED talk, Roxanne Gay talks about how it does not make a woman a bad feminist to take her husband’s name or to stay home to raise her children. 5 on the Buzzfeed article also says that it is anti-feminist to take a partner’s last name and 24 says that stay-at-home parents are not helping feminism. Roxanne Gay explains that it is the each person’s choice as to what they do with their lives. The problem is in our society and how it is set up to make women economically vulnerable when they choose to stay home. I think people think that these two things are anti-feminist because they think feminism is all

Donald’s Trump’s victory in the 2016 election is very complex. The political mishaps that have occurred since JFK’s presidency reshaped the American psyche of who the president should be. This chain of dissatisfaction with the federal government led the American people to hope for a president who is honest, free of corruption, and supportive of the middle class. Trump recognized the American need for a new kind of president and took on a persona that perfectly exemplified this. The Trump Mythology is the belief that Donald Trump is a transparent, honest politician; however, this is only part of the equation. Belief in the Trump Mythology contributed to his victory, but it is also important to acknowledge the respective roles of demographics, voter turnout, and Hillary Clinton’s flaws. An interesting difference between the Kennedy Mythology and the Trump Mythology that is worth noting is the role of the media. Throughout the Kennedy Era, popular media fed the people’s fascination of Kennedy’s Camelot, perpetuating the mythology. Donald Trump, however, was largely hated by popular culture. American media ultimately discounted Donald Trump as a viable contender for the presidency.

The presences of stereotypes are overwhelming and are developed by both the environment a subject is raised in and their family. Stereotypes, which are pervasive throughout different societies, become intertwined in the collective values of the society as justification for all forms of social, economic, and political inequality among groups (Devine and Elliot 2000;Kaplan 2004; Operario and Fiske 2004). As people become more exposed to stereotypes they start to become a permanent part of a person’s life, they begin to stereotype themselves almost always involuntarily.

Stereotypes have an overwhelming effect especially on the people they are directed towards. Studying stereotypes helps in understanding the factors leading to discrimination of certain people and not others. This is because stereotypes are depictive of opinions that are often passed from one generation to another within a particular culture. Mass media such as television and newspapers form a common source of opinions in the contemporary society (Kotter & Hess, 2012). The media presents messages in steady, repetitive, and compelling manner, making them believable to almost everybody. Stereotyping opinion and depictions from the media can thus have detrimental effects on the

Lastly, likely the most pronounced bias is stereotyping; whether used in comedy, rhetoric, or everyday life, stereotyping is everywhere. The best example of this bias would be the recent 2015 Presidential election in the USA. Growing political polarization, with prevalent misinformation, and ignorance of ‘the other side’, creates an ideal powder keg for sweeping generalizations. A good indicator of stereotyping in the US follows from what adjectives are used to describe each party from their opposition, seen here in figure 1.
