My Stereotypes About Appearance Problems

Right outside a corner store, next to a stoplight, or at a park, there may be a homeless person asking for some sort of help; it can either be for a place to stay, money, or food. Many people are used to categorizing a group of people by a solo characteristic, known as a stereotype. Misconception, on the other hand, is a conclusion of someone or something that is wrong because it is based on faulty thinking or facts. Stereotypes and misconceptions appear to be similar, however, these two are not. A misconception is formed from having a stereotype. Stereotypes and misconceptions are built because many try, but are unable to understand a person or a group, or are just simply unwilling to understand the person or group. There are over a million

On a daily bases people make excuses for everything. Everything meaning our actions and the things that we say. Common things that we make excuse for deal with sexist, racist, and heterosexist comments. Sexist is classified as saying that one sex is better than the other. An example of this is someone calling a male or female something that they are not. I do not like this because we are all humans and deserve to be respected and not called something that is degrading. We all know that racist is downgrading one race compared to another. An example of this is, saying that all black people are loud and ghetto. We all act the same but some people do certain things different from others. That’s just there way of living. I do not think that just because one person acts one way the whole race does also. Heterosexist is defined as heterosexuality is better than all other expressions. An example of this would be talking about how a guy dresses and calling him gay. I do not agree with this as well because it is good to stand out and be your own person not matter how others see you.

False rape accusations can be incredibly destructive to the lives of those who are accused. As such, it is important that each case is investigated to the fullest extent possible and that the situations remain disclosed to the public until a verdict is reached. The idea of "innocent until proven guilty" must always be protected in our society; Allowing any case to ignore this philosophy is detrimental to freedom and due process all over the country. However, it is also very important to make sure that women and men can feel safe to report if they have been raped. People should not be shamed for reporting a rape, but they often are. Unfortunately, even the most cherished of people can turn out to be sexual predators. For example,

In today's world there are many prejudices towards society's standards and it affects people negatively especially women. Being attractive can get you anywhere. Having good looks and a nice body gets you places most of the time. It is harsh but it is the truth. A social experiment has actually found that to be true.

Get up. Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Pinch the edges of your belly and compare it to the model that you were just looking at in the magazine while you were in the bathroom. Give yourself a hard time about how you look. Go ahead, eat that ice cream and doughnut. The diet will start tomorrow, so they all say. Keep telling yourself that the diet starts tomorrow but it will actually never start. Download myfitnesspal on your phone, buy a gym membership, go everyday for the first two weeks, tell yourself that you are doing a great job, and never go back. Now you’re back to square one, staring at yourself in the mirror and comparing yourself to the models in the magazine while sittin on a toilet.

What do you think of when someone says they have depression? Most people would think that means that the person lies in bed and cries a lot during an episode but sometimes people act just the same as they would normally. Not everyone with depression presents it in the same way. There are major changes that can point to depression and these are different depending on the person. While depression cannot be completely cured you can manage it better. In order to better understand how people that have depression behave we have to look at the stereotypes, the symptoms, and the treatment options that are available.

Findings in the Carney, Cuddy &Yap, (2010) article shows that an individual that displays a sense of openness can be said to have high power, whereas individuals who close themselves off by wrapping their arms around themselves or holding their hands between their laps are said to have lower power. The amount of power that can be seen from behind a person's involuntary action is not a new study in the workplace. In fact, it has been proven that the most successful leaders are the ones that display high power poses along with high self-esteem. The more confidant the person seems the more open their body language is. On the other hand, individuals that use contracting hand and foot placement are said to have low self-esteem.

The media is affecting the health of women and girls through the lifestyles of its celebrities, especially the actresses and models. Actresses, more often than not, starve themselves to be seen as beautiful to the public. They eat unhealthily- that is they do not eat at all, or they are always on some sort of irrational diet. With their platform, and the idolisation of their work and person is what affects the lives of the people that regard them as role models. Photos in magazines are photoshopped, making girls and women ashamed of their flaws. This problem, however, has sparked a revolution among some people in Hollywood, and they have begun to promote body positivity and a healthy lifestyle. These people, though they may not be the majority,

In conclusion, people should be treated equally and fairly based on their color, religion, and gender. There should not be hatred against those people with those profiles because they are not affecting the people that think differently of them or they are not hurting them. The thing that everyone should do is keep all the negativity that you have against someone to yourself and say the positive things, and to also remember that you don’t always have to agree with others background or what they think of themselves, all you need to do is to be supportive and respectful about their opinions.

I was raised to respect others as I would want to be respected, no matter the circumstance or consequence. Growing up in a nonjudgmental household, I established a foundation towards my personal opinions used today. Before I reached school-age, I realized all people are unique and beautiful. I encountered many life-long friends of each color, sexual orientation, and religion imaginable. Presently, I have begun seeing the endless methods of discrimination. The unfortunate misconception in which all persons should conform to one belief system has tainted our nation. I believe everyone has a right to be heard and appreciated without wrongful perception of character.

Throughout my life, I have seen so many people around me being stereotyped before someone even got a chance to know them. Many individuals are stereotyped based on their color, religion, or culture. While going to school, I was stereotyped by my religion and my appearance. A lot of people believed that sense I was a Christian I was a "goody goody," and never done any wrong. However, what they never realized is that even though I walked a path with God, I had to ask for forgiveness everyday. As Christians, we are far from being perfect, and we sin daily. To add, I was bullied because I wore glasses. Kids use to say that I am a geek, and four eyed. So, therefore, many people are stereotyped in many different ways.

Since Psychology is a pretty popular major there are often trouble getting a job. According to Kendra Cherry, a Psychosocial habitation specialists and author, said that there was 1,8400,200 bachelor degrees in Psychology awarded in 2012-2013 (qtd. by National Center for Education Statistics). Like I said before there are plenty career opportunities when you have a bachelor’s degree but if you want a higher pay or more wider fields you would have to attend graduate school. Graduate school is expensive and if you add on the extra years of attending, about two years, you will end up with around five to seven years of schooling. This doesn’t take into consideration if you have a family, work a full time job, or go part time to school. However

Based on your social life you could be either a hedgehog or fox. A hedgehog is a person who gets to know the person who come in their life. They seek until they know the person inside and outside. A fox is a person who let anyone in their live or personal space without getting to know them. According to my social life I am certain a hedgehog because I liked to get know people for who they are and not who they say they are. I’m the type of person who ask people questions about themselves and what they like to do for a living. Being a hedgehog can get personal, because you’re letting a person come into your life to build a bond or relationship. “My point is that the fox social life might corrode the imperative of having hedgehog social life,

There are a lot of stereotypes of success in our society, people try to be as close as the stereotypes, meanwhile, they are making a model to reshape themselves. As the TED talk Your body language shapes who you are inspires us to “fake it until you become it”, that encourage people to However, on the way of fit in the model, people always ignore who they really are and what they truly want. So, to what extent does reading literature help us to discover who we are and what we believe? By who we are, I refer to one’s personalities, desires and natural instincts; for beliefs that include religious beliefs, universal truth and common senses. The novel Humans reveals both dark sides and goodness of humans, and the lost of our faith. So, it leads

One’s perception can vary from another person’s based on culture, state of mind, physiology, gender and even the media influence some people. Throughout my years in high school, I judge people before knowing the whole situations or the real them. When I came to college, I wanted to come with an open mind because one would never know who they interacting and connecting with. It may be the future president or your future employer.
