Officer Mccormick's Stereotypes

The Keepers is a docu-series that follows the journey of Abbie Shaub and Gemma Hoskins as they dig into the murder of their former teacher from Archbishop Keough High School in Baltimore, MD. The murder of their teacher, Nun Cathy Cesnik, occurred in 1969. Cesnik’s murder is still unsolved to this day. This could be in part because there was so much more to the murder than who killed Cesnik. As Abbie and Gemma began digging into what they thought was only a murder, they found that their main suspect, Joseph Maskell, who was a chaplain at Keough, had sexual allegations against him.

“A hero is an ordinary person who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” This quote by Christopher Reeve illustrates overcoming obstacles similar to those described in The Glory Field by Walter Dean Myers. This historical-fiction story is about the Lewises, that all started with Muhammad, who was brought to North America in 1753, as a slave. Numerous traits were passed down from Muhammad to his descendants. Each Lewis is characterized by obstacles they experienced and overcoming: Elijah provides for his family, Luvenia overcomes stereotypes, and Sheppard fights against his drug addiction.

Old timers will see Chief Jones’ as an outsider that will weak when dealing with personnel and politicians, have no concept of what the work needs to be done on the scene of a large commercial working structure fire or how to properly deal with a mass casualty incident because she is a woman. Certain staff members will more than likely go even further and say that she did not earn her position ,consider her a second class officer and others will call her the token woman so that Union County can say they adhere to the Equal Employment Act and they even have a woman as the leader of one department. These are just a few of the ill feeling and statements that some will say when she attempts to apply changes that they will strongly resist

Jim Stachowiak; He is one man that I would never ever want to meet. He has taken the stereotype that all Muslims are bad to a whole new level.

Probably the most famous "Indian" in American popular media that comes to everyone’s mind is the Lone Ranger's sidekick, Tonto, portrayed by Native American actor Jay Silverheels. Tonto “became the quintessential stoic Indian, which in some ways was a positive step and in other ways locked Indians into a sort of hapless, slow-witted stereotype” (Fitzgerald, 2013:92). Today, the portrayal of Tonto has been seen by some Native Americans and others as derogatory and degrading. He often spoke in a Pidgin, broken English language saying things like, "That right, Kemo Sabe," or "Him say man ride over ridge on horse." However, later depictions have showed Tonto speaking English more clearer and being treated as an equal

Fruitvale Station, directed by Ryan Cooger, made on July 12, 2013, was a dramatic film that displayed moments where stereotypes where shown. Although movies have portrayed black men as non-working, Fruitvale Station exploits the stereotype that black men do not like to work because of the preconceived notions America has on black males.

Throughout time stereotypes have been placed on almost everyone. With in the piece “Playing for Keeps” the author Robin Kelley breaks some of these stereotypes down and shows that the hobbies and lifestyles of certain race and class groups have a lot more meaning than what most people believe. Robin Kelley shows that black youths, living in the boroughs of New York, lives aren’t exactly how they are portrayed by capitalist companies like Nike. Not everyone has the “rags to riches” mindset like seen in the Nike commercial where the streetball players head to the big leagues and get rich. In fact, it is way less common than this commercial promotes.

Over the years, films have been using stereotypes to portray humor through its characters and environment (3). Stereotypes are associated with almost everything and everyone no matter how people classify themselves. For further clarification, stereotypes are associated with people, groups, races, ethnicities, objects and locations. The Longest Yard (2005) by Peter Segal, perpetuates the use of stereotypes to portray its characters and environment through racial, gender, and prison stereotypes. These specific stereotypes are shown throughout the movie and are examples of stereotypes that have been passed down for generations. Films use stereotypes so that they are able to appeal to a larger target audience (3). The purpose of this paper is to analyze common stereotypes of racial, gender, prison, and athlete stereotypes in the film The Longest Yard.

The most innocent individual has the ability to flip their morality code to fit a role they could be given. Someone suddenly reflecting a role given to them is referred to as the Lucifer Effect. (Myers 2014, p. 461) In the film, Full Metal Jacket, Sergent Hartman played his role as the drill instructor both intensely and aggressively.(Kubrick) Hartman perfectly reflected the stereotype of both verbally and physically abusive drill instructors as he used his role as the instructor to frequently undermine and harass the new cadets.

This time I hated how it felt to be stereotyped. I really felt what people say about police officers. Police officers supposed to be the nice men or women in uniform. This time it felt awful to be on the side of questioning and feeling like a criminal just for minding our business. A group of friends and I were at Fort Lauderdale Airport, waiting for the arrival of two friends coming from their trip. While we waited in the garage filled with cars a security guard in his patrol car came and told us to move before the officers came. The Police officers approached us and asked us why we are here? We all politely answered that we were waiting for our friend to arrive. Thinking that the matter is resolved the officer radioed for backup. In a matter

Priestly depicts gender stereotypes to emphasise gender in a capitalistic, misogynistic and patriarchal society, in his play 'An Inspector Calls'. Priestly portrays women as emotional, commodified, materialistic and irresponsible, highlighting the way that a misogynistic capitalist society operates. In a similar manner, Priestly presents men as arrogant, ambitious, dominant, and strong. By doing this Priestly aims to critique capitalism and the underlying implications and undercurrents of problems which capitalism brings to provoke a reaction in the audience to promote socialism. Priestly presents women as weak, emotional and irresponsible throughout the entire play by using Sheila to show the pink and intimate safety bubble and facade which

Bagley’s intelligible illustration portrays the racism in the police force as he portrays the cops pointing a gun at a defenseless black boy while waving at an white kid with weapons in hand. depicts how racism is still a prevalent an idea in this world. Especially cops. In the cartoon you see that the white boy has guns in his pockets and the cop is friendly and waves.

The skull and black wings on the right is representing how a lot of deaths of African Americans are because of cops.

The television show “The wire” is a show about brutal gangs in downtown Baltimore, and police who work all night, every night in order to catch the drug slingers, and murderers. Throughout “The wire” the show primarily focuses on the male characters and doesn't give much attention to the women in the series. Although the women seem to be like they are not a big part of the show but they actually serve a great deal of meaning to the plot of the show. The show displays many different types of women from cops to thugs and it is hard to find two women alike in this series. In a stereotyped filled world, people will judge you based on many things and determine how you will grow up and turn out in life off of those few pieces of your life.
