Examples Of Stereotypes In The Breakfast Club

Many movie writers incorporate stereotypes into their film. Stereotypes in movies can be good mechanisms to help the audience better understand the characters. For example, common stereotypes of cowboys include grittiness and determination, which helps to develop them for the viewer’s entertainment. However, stereotypes can also present characters in a negative light. In Madea’s Big Happy Family, Tyler Perry uses the motif of African American stereotypes, which includes rampant drug abuse, broken families, and inappropriate, disorderly behaviors. At its roots, his movie contains nothing more than the theme of pigeonholing African Americans.

I do believe prejudice still goes on today. The Breakfast Club is a great example of how teenagers put each other in certain social categories. All of the characters were put into one of these social categories. Claire was called the princess because she came from a rich family and had everything she’s ever wanted and was popular in her school. Judd was known as the criminal because he got into trouble all the time and was just rude and loud. He wore certain clothes that made him look poor and his use of profanity showed that he didn’t come from a very good family. Allison was called the basket case because she wore all black and people thought she was crazy and creepy. Andrew was known as the jock because he was into sports and was popular

We all see stereotyping in real life everywhere we go. Muslims are terrorists, and blondes are dumb; and they’re not always true. Believe it or not most of the blonde people I know are smarter than me. We see a lot of stereotyping in the book ‘The Outsiders’. The outsiders have two groups or gangs. The Socs and the Greasers. The greasers are know as the ‘gang’ or the ‘bad boys’ and the socs are known as the ‘popular group’ they wear madras shirts and drive corviars and mustangs. Everybody loves them however little do they know, they are the bad kids. The torture the greasers and jump them. I know that some of The Greasers also jump some little kids and pick up girls but nothing compared to The Socs. The Socs get away with almost anything because the police always let them off the hook, but not with The Greasers. That’s the problem that everyone thinks that The Socs and The Greasers are completely different but what if a Soc and a Greaser meet any completely tear down all stereotypes?

Stereotypes And Isolation Lennie killed Curly's Wife on accident by snapping her neck because Lennie is so strong . But he didn't to do it even though Curly's wife was getting annoying . Lennie can't control is strength . But could control how he treats people . But he can't because he doesn't know better .

To start, stereotypes are deceptive because people place others into cliques based on their appearances. People assume everyone in a clique are the same, even though their true personality may differ from that clique. The first example from The Outsiders in which somebody doesn’t fit in with the stereotype they are given is Ponyboy. Ponyboy doesn’t quite fit in with his clique, the greasers. After Ponyboy is jumped, Darry has a fight with Pony. Darry yells at Ponyboy to think on the streets and to stay alert. Darry is concerned about Ponyboy’s safety: ‘“You must think at school with all those good grades you bring home, and you’ve always got your nose in a book, but do you ever use your head for common sense?”’ (13). Meaning, Ponyboy isn’t like the greaser stereotype. Compared to all the other greasers, Pony is book smart and not street smart. The greasers are smart where it really matters like on the streets. They carry blades to defend themselves, travel as gangs, and know how to get themselves out of a dangerous situation, if they get stuck in one. Ponyboy, however, is book smart. He succeeds at an outstanding level at school and in his academics. Once he is on the street his intelligence doesn’t follow him. He doesn’t use his common sense and he can’t find his way out of dangerous situations. As a result of this Pony gets jumped by the Socs which

Picking back up on The Breakfast Club allusion, I distinctly remember being 15 years old when I first watched it, another Saturday night spent on the couch. I’m positive most people can acknowledge how solid of a movie it is. Who can reminisce on the wholesome conclusion, that revolves around each character embracing themselves for who they are, without smiling? But now that I’m older, I can’t help but feel like who they are just matches up with respective cliché archetypes, brain, athlete, basket case, etc., etc. and to say these stereotypes are a reductive movie trope is an understatement.

detention. Each teen was from a different social group, or had a stereotype that they were

Imagine being hurt to the point you have trouble making rational decisions and you over-indulge on unhealthy foods. Well that is what is likely to happen when you face a negative stereotype.This study was done by April Kemick at the University of Toronto. People don't accept others the way they are because of stereotypes and prejudice.

The title of the movie I chose to watch is “The Breakfast Club”. This movie centers around five students; Andrew, Claire, Brian, John and Allison. They had to spend Saturday detention for 8 hours at Shermer High School library. They are all from different cultures and communities. In their own definitions, Claire was a princess, Andrew was an athlete, John was a criminal, Brian was the brain, and Allison was a basket case. Their teacher Mr Vernon asks them to write an essay, and they see that’s not interesting. They dispute with each other and do not cope. They fight each other and discuss different subjects during the movie. After mr Vernon left his office, they go to Bender 's locker and take his Marijuana. Allison and Brian are very

The example I found was a Facebook post that displayed USD’s awareness of rape that is called “What we were wearing.” This display represented what people wore the night they were raped. Each picture in the post had the outfit the victim wore and a description of how scared, silent, and confused they were when it happened. This is an example of stereotyping because it shows normal clothes, not dressy, sexy clothes that each victim wore when they were raped. The outfit varied from athletic, baggy, festive, military, and children’s clothes, which make us visualize that the victim was not asking for anything or wanting someone to attack them. I chose this post to share because of how heroic and brave each person was to share their story and a new way to end the stereotyping that the girl was asking for it because of what she was wearing.

The central theme of this poster is overcoming stereotypes. 5 students spend their Saturday in detention. At first they all succumbed to their stereotypes but as time passed, they all got to know each other and realized that they're not as different then they originally thought. The central theme/message of this movie is overcoming stereotypes and it becomes evident to viewers throughout the movie. This theme develops throughout the movie, starting with posture of the characters, then the dialogue, and finally their net performance in the overall movie which leads to the final scene of the movie. These are the 4 specific elements I will analyze in order to support my central theme.

Stereotypes are not always accurate, but when it comes to describing Greek People many of them are true. Most of these are true to an extent, but due to pop culture all these aspects are presented to their extreme and can be misleading. In addition, the difference in which these aspects are depicted in Greek films versus American films can be very different. Being loud, very family oriented, carefree, and extremely proud of their identity are a few of the most popular stereotypes when describing Greeks. Pop culture can be deceiving at times as everything is exaggerated in order to catch the audience's attention and have a shock factor, but those aspects, exaggerated

There’s a stereotype that it’s better to be a man. From higher wages to better job opportunities, being a man sounds great. But as every other thing-it has its bad sides. Men are seen to be harder and more stern than women in every aspect. From an early age boys are low-key taught they’re superior to women: in jobs, intelligence, and brawn. This sets a precedent since childhood to maintain such status up until death.

A stereotype can be defined as a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. Discrimination on the other hand involves treating a particular group – which tends to be a minority – at a disadvantage or unfairly because of their association with this specific group. Prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping of race, class and gender can be argued to be one of the most negative aspects of society which has resulted in unfavorable affects on various groups and people worldwide.

One thing I can say about this article, that it was a lot of stereotype, also it was a lot of ruff living .One thing I can say, coming up in the new generation I couldn’t live the life that they was living back then I’m not a trouble child, But I sometimes I did trouble things .In this articles and also by watching the moving these guys was living a hard life.
