Stereotypes In Angel Island

To begin with, the vignette, “Those Who Don’t” displays how often times cultural and religious stereotypes can affect your outlook on others. Primarily, negative and positive affiliations to specific groups of people act as stereotypes for a topic that should be non-existent. For example, Esperanza explains, “They think we will attack them with shiny knives” (Cisneros 28). Therefore, assuming that lower class citizens are stereotypically dangerous and aggressive is not

I would say we’ve all been stereotyped at some point, be it due to your sex, gender, race, or religious beliefs, the list goes on. Some are blissfully oblivious when in the face of being disrespected and or stereotyped, some just don’t care to look further into the situation. Others simply “take the high road”, doing the right thing even if it’s not easy nor popular in a difficult situation. Most often we can’t help the labels which society places on us, we were born with the skin color we have, our values ingrained into us by our families, and so forth. Personally, I’ve faced stereotypes relating to my race.

Drugs and violence are universal. Although not all drugs cause violence some drugs like alcohol, methamphetamine, and crack cocaine do and can have horrible results. Some of the behavior that these drugs can cause are: domestic violence, sexual assault, homicides, and property crimes. Although horrible things do happen people still use them and crimes like these happen too much. This is a social issue because people see this as a norm. This shouldn't be a norm and people need to start realizing that.

“We all use stereotypes, all the time, without knowing it. We have met the enemy of equality, and the enemy is us,” said Annie Murphy Paul who is a magazine journalist and book author that writes about the biological and social sciences. Stereotypes are a part of everyday life. Every person, young or old, has been labeled with a positive or negative stereotype. They are heard everyday and sometimes label certain groups of people. As Martina Navratilova said, “Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.” A lot of time stereotypes don’t fit what they are labeling. They can have a bad effect on people’s emotions, the way people interact with each other and their social lives. A common stereotype of many U.S. citizens is that all Mexican immigrants are criminals and have come to the U.S. illegally; therefore, this stereotype has a bad affect on the way Mexicans and other people think and act.

Besides boys reacting differently than what I expected, appearances on what boys are supposed to look like affected my views when I was younger. Watching novellas with my mother I used to looking at latino men who were tall and ripped, as I got older I started to notice that not all Mexican males were not buff and over six foot, and not all women wear tight dresses showing off a lot of cleavage. To rephrase it I do not want to say that latinos are not attractive, it's just I feel uncomfortable when people say that latinos are only attractive on tv. I feel that the stereotype of novella actors have imprinted an idea what latinos are supposed to look like, I constantly here that latinos are super sexy and good in bed, as if we are only good

“He’s a young Latino what is he doing in this neighborhood? he must be lost, he has to be poor.” that’s just one of the stereotypes I hear often. “Hispanic people are poor” When in fact most Hispanics are well off. Yet repeatedly I have heard that stereotype in movies, songs, shows, and school. I have been through this many times as I have lived up through 19 years of existence. Its something that I have gotten accustomed too.

Listing the movies or programs that has been extremely popular such as Maid in Manhattan, Spanglish and Family Guy. These three program all share the stereotypical that was strongly presented. For example, they all happen to a single mother raising a child, speaks in Spanish accent and their appearance. They all have black hair, caramel skin tone and a sassy attitude. This exactly proves my point, as I said earlier, these directors all have the same perception of Latinas.

Stereotypes have been around longer than America has. In this century every type of person has a stereotype. Some positive and some negative. The stereotype to highlight pertaining to the video is about the Latinos. Most Latinos are assumed illegal immigrants because a lot of them don’t speak English and if they do it is not very well. Another factor to add in is that a lot of Latinos work landscaping under the table. That is across America, now to talk about the areas around the boarders of America. Every day thousands of Latinos try to cross the border illegally. So the stereotype may have more truth down there but it is still not completely true. The fact is every darker skin colored person will be pulled over near the borders either by the county police or the border patrol.

Does stereotyping have a different meaning towards you then it does to other people? When someone brings up a stereotype what is the first thing you think of? We might see a person in a different way than others and think that they can't do what other people can do because of their race, culture, or even their gender. When you see someone your first instinct is their appearance, you will judge them and make comments to yourself and think of what they can or cannot do.

A cultural analysis is a combination of many elements. Cultures have traditions, customs, habits, beliefs, practices, and values. Each culture can have different traditions in their own essence. These traditions can come from their ancestors and passed down generations. However, some people don’t like to continue their ancestors traditions and adapt others customs from another culture. The culture change depending on the time and place. The enrichment of cultures consists of adaptation and acceptance of another culture's beliefs. Not all of the people can tolerate other cultures, traditions, languages or stereotypes. Cultures attack or support other cultural values The Mexican culture is hard-working and are strict in their values

Women such as 1st Lt. Shaye Haver and Cpt. Kristen Griest, whom had completed the notoriously challenging Army Ranger program, are perfect examples of women that counter old stereotypes that women are weak and have no place serving in the military. While it may be true that, considering average physiology, women may have somewhat less bone mass and a lower capacity to develop muscle mass, the military does not require women to have a male bodybuilder’s muscle mass to gain entry or even excel. Beyond this, women have comparable fundamental potential for a military role. For all practical purposes, women have a comparable potential to train and succeed in the military, while gender roles, stereotypes, and treatment appear to have comparable or

Los Vendidos, directed by Moises Diaz was committed to bringing to the stage not only entertainment, but the stereotypes that Mexicans are identify as and struggle within the United States. Far Away, directed by Sharon Beckless was committed to bringing to the stage not only doubt, but to not trust nothing at all. These plays combines brought extraordinary changes. Which made it interesting and have many endings other than what the audience can expect. The audience can’t wait to see what the end holds. Without the laughter of Los Vendidos, the play would have been reduced to pure chaos and would have failed to portray an ideal of identity, equality, and struggle in the future generations to seal such equality. Without the doubt of Far Away,

A regular person would typically have an easy time distinguishing an individual who is abnormal if he is not qualified based on the set of norms a regular person believes and follows. These beliefs are dictated by the society an individual lives, in fact, he needs to inculcate in order to be accepted. This is one of the reasons why things or actions that are not familiar to one’s knowledge are considered abnormal for many. Unfamiliar behaviors may cause alarm because a normal person in a society does not know how to handle or to react properly. For instance, they tend to isolate those people who are abnormal. An individual may also consider a disabled person abnormal, knowing that the he does not have the capacity to contribute to the society-

“Los Vendidos,” is a one action play written by Luis Valdez. It compares the Hispanic population using stereotypical characters who are currently on sale at a “Used Mexican Lot.” It takes place in California in 1967 in a dense Mexican population. Politics and culture collide together. The Hispanic population comes to the United States to increase their wealth. This play demonstrates how Mexican-Americans have struggled to find their identity and equality in the United States. (CLC) Stereotypes and Marxism plays a role in the play.
