The movie Peter Pan (1953) is about how Wendy and her brothers believe in silly fantasies but to her dad it seems to be problem since Wendy is already a young lady and needs to act more like her own age and stop acting like a little girl.

Stereotypes are particularly influential when decisions are based on qualitative, idiosyncratic dimensions (i.e., interpersonal skill) rather than on quantitative features (i.e., practical skill). Breaking down stereotypes is a formidable undertaking. Stereotyped groups such as women are likely to doubt their abilities based off society norms., which applies a disadvantage. An example of stereotype regeneration is the feminist movement; the movement is redefining their own beliefs about women and changing societies perspective in the process.

Knowing the stereotypes about women, we should never be wrong, but as a young adult I do know that is possible. When I look back on the mistakes that I have made, I realize that each and every mistake educates me. Each one has shaped me into the young woman that I have become today. This one memory in particular is the one that I believe has helped me out the most. During my third grade year I had one teacher that told me that my spelling was atrocious. To me at the time I thought that was a compliment meant to keep me excited about English. Then it became completely obvious by her expression that atrocious was a synonym for horrible. It was from that point that I felt that I wasn’t as smart as everyone else said. I became insecure of my failures

Prejudice stances facing women and examples of sexism put an imprint of stereotypes of women from years to come. Men seem to have invented a theory that presumed them dominant of the sexes yet expected a women to wait on them hand and foot, in addition to the fact a woman went through all the pain of pregnancy to birth them.

For my experiential learning I went to a forum about feminism. At the forum, a group of students and faculty spoke about feminism and what feminism is in their lives. The beginning of the forum started with the speakers talking about what feminism is. There are a lot of misconceptions and stereotypes about feminism. The main stereotype that was brought to attention was what a feminist looks like. Feminist are typically thought of as women that dress in androgynous clothing, don’t shave, and have brightly colored hair. This is not a true representation of what a feminist looks like.
