Hip-Hop Planet Hip-hop started in New York City in the 1970s but has become popular all over the world. Today, many countries have their own local hip-hop scenes. Artists from different backgrounds rap about everything from cars and designer clothes to social issues. Here are two examples. The Czech Republic Europe is home to 10-12 million Roma -a group of people often called "gypsies." Many Roma are poor. In some places, they also face discrimination. Now some Roma teenagers are using hip-hop to teach tolerance. In the Czech Republic, Roma teens meet for a hip-hop class called "Rap for Peace Hip-Hop. Their instructor is Shameema Williams.

been well recorded, and it sometimes affects his game too much.” Ronaldo sometimes argues with players and the referee that he ends up getting sent off early with either two yellow cards or a straight red card affecting his team and teammates with one less player on the field against a full eleven man squad. I see how people create stereotypes about professional soccer players because i watch almost every soccer game of Cristiano Ronaldo's soccer team and Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s soccer team both Real madrid and Paris Saint Germain. When watching the soccer games of Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain you could see where people create these stereotypes but most of the time professional players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic play

Bruno Mars’s real name is Peter Gene Hernandez; he changed it due to the fact he was being stereotyped as a latino artist, and was even asked to consider singing in Spanish. “Bruno” was a childhood nickname given to him by his father, and he chose “Mars” because he felt he need a little extra “pizzazz.” He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on October 8, 1985. His father is Peter Hernandez, and was born in Brooklyn, New York, and is of Puerto Rican and Jewish descent. His mother is Bernadette San Pedro Bayot, and she was originally from the Philippines, and immigrated to Hawaii. His parents were a big musical influence on him, and they even met while performing at a show, with him mother as a hula dancer and his father playing drums. Bruno Mars, himself, aside from his talented vocal skills, can also play keyboard, piano, drums, and guitar. Music is a big part of Bruno Mars’s family life, his brother, Eric Hernandez, gave up his career as a police officer in order to play drums in Bruno’s band, “The Hooligans.”

There a many stereotypes that are explored in the film Hoop Dreams. Both William Gates and Arthur Agee fit into the stereotype of great basketball players who aren’t very successful academically. Over time as they advanced in High School this stereotype manifested to where they were unable to play at the professional level they all dreamed about when they were kids. As most parents would want to believe about their children, they want them to be successful academically and athletically. This stereotype was exploded as the documentary progressed.

Basketball, football, and hockey are considered the most popular sports in America as of today. However, sports in the early 1950s were not as popular as they are now. According to “An Exercise in Subtleties and the Transmission of Racism: An Analysis of Sports Illustrated Covers” by Eric Primm, Summer DuBois, and Robert M. Regoli, they stated that American love their sport and that “each year they would spend billions of dollars on sports-related items and activities.” The media help promote the popularity of the sports in America. Consequently, sports media “plays a key role in perpetuating the types of racial stereotypes about minority athletes in sports” (Ismond, 115). The thesis of this writing project is with some racial stereotype reinforcement

Carson Wentz is the captain of the 2018 Super Bowl LII champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. He led the Eagles by clinching the NFC East title prior to tearing his ACL at the end of the Eagles conference season. It was only Wentz’s second year in the NFL and he had originally begun his career as a third string quarterback until this season. Wentz had brought the Eagles faith back again after leading the team to multiple victories in the 2017 season. Although Wentz was unable to play for his team in the Super Bowl due to his ACL injury, he still supported and rooted for his team every game. When Nick Foles had taken over for Wentz, Wentz did not give up hope or feel down about himself. He than helped Nick Foles by continuing to motivate him any

Chiefs, Redskins, and Braves. All names of popular, professional American sports teams, all are offensive terms for Native Americans. It is time for these teams to make a positive change. The names are insulting, not just to Native Americans, but to all Americans. Furthermore, the names and images of mascots encourages negative stereotypes that don’t represent our nation's history. Sports are supposed to bring us together, but the use of these names keeps us apart. It is in the best interest for all American sports team to abolish the use of ignorant names that are reminiscent of the mistreatment of Native Americans in our nation’s history.

The connection between stereotypes and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is the role of gender, sexuality that takes place among Oscar and society. It is how Oscar feels after he has been mocked, humilliated, hurt, etc... Oscar as a Dominican, he has to be in good shape and sexy according to the tipical Dominican Republic stereotype. He obligatory have to be a good-looking guy otherwise he was a fake Dominican. But Oscar wasn’t like every Dominican, he was different. He “had none of the High Powers of your typical Dominican male, couldn’t have pulled a girl if his life depended on it”(20). He was indeed different, but different doesn’t mean to be ugly, or weird, it means that he is just a different type of person. He was an introvert, what

two most common stereotypes; the “wealthy” and the “ghetto”. When thinking of a wealthy neighborhood, images of large homes and expensive cars come to mind. On the other hand, the word “ghetto” conjures up images of boarded windows and over- grown lawns. Clearly these stereotypes are not always true, but the idea remains the same. The neighborhood you live in automatically places you in certain categories, re- gardless of whether or not you belong in them. “As the cliché goes, you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes—you can tell even more about them based on where they've chosen to call home.” An article by Megan Koester titled

Following the police shooting in Ferguson of Michael Brown, EJ brown was inspired to show “the contrast between the perception and reality of being an African American college graduate” (Neuendorf). African Americans are frequently portrayed and stereotyped as thugs and criminals irrespective of their true identities. EJ Brown was an educated black man who did not at all fit the stereotype that is so often shown in the media and wanted to bring light to the fact that most African Americans do not fit this stereotype and that they are so much more than what society sees them as. In these pictures, Brown took pictures of his African American friends in their college graduation gear, holding booking slates with their college majors on them. He was attempting to illustrate how society sees them as criminals and show who they truly are as college graduates with futures that do not involve any type of illegal activity. These pictures are so important for everyone who holds prejudices against African Americans purely based on their race because it has the potential to change their opinions for the better. Race is one of the most publicized areas of controversy and can be heavily based on stereotypes alone without evaluating other angles or digging for the truth. EJ Brown attempted to show the truth about how stereotypes about your race define who you truly are and there are so many people who do not fit the stereotypes that are so prevalent in today’s society. The artwork that he has created was absolutely effective in what he had set out to do because he changed the life of a young boy that now wants to go to college after seeing his pictures.

A stereotype I always hear is "ALL black people are good at basketball" it means that there is a disproportionately large percentage of black people that are good at basketball, which leads people to believe that if someone is black, there are higher than average odds that they will be good at basketball. The fact that my black uncle isn't good at basketball doesn't disprove this stereotype. The fact that Justin Timberlake can dance doesn't disprove the idea that white people may tend to have less sense of rhythm, many stereotypes and generalizations are based on verifiable statistics. Bottom line, and I will say this from experience, is that if you're a minority in the US, you have to work harder, and strive harder in school. I've hung around

Often compared to Jason Kidd, Ball has been commended for his leadership qualities along with his maturity and court vision. He is a facilitator in the veins of a true point guard, something not very common in the league anymore. He had an impressive season averaging 14.7 pts per game, 7.6 assists, and 6.1 rebounds helping catapult UCLA to a number 3 seed in the NCAA tournament. \

The late 1950s and early 1960s fostered an era of extreme social turmoil. The events of the Cold War combined with the emergence of counterculture movements led the United States in a direction that would permanently change American society. The constant threat of nuclear bombardment provided a platform to criticize traditional modes of authority, while lacking ideals of women’s rights and religious tolerance built upon that platform. Robert Heinlein, a science fiction writer, was one of many in the era finding the current state of society to be inadequate. In Stranger in a Strange Land, written in 1961, Heinlein’s use of stereotyped characters functions to provide Heinlein with an outlet of criticism for late 1950s and early 1960s
