Questions on Assumptions

What are the core assumptions and key features of the biological and psychoanalytic perspectives in psychology? In what ways are they similar and how do they differ?

Stereotypes are generalizations about a group of people whereby we attribute a defined set of characteristics to this group. These classifications can be positive or negative, such as when various nationalities are stereotyped as friendly or unfriendly.

CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION TO STUDY There are many sociological theories that can provide people with a different perspective than what they might already believe. Sociological theories help to explain and foresee the social world that we live in. Sociology has three major paradigms; functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interaction. This discussion uses the three paradigms; in order to gain a deeper understanding of child abuse in today’s society.

We make assumptions because we need explanations (to our questions) to address what’s going on in our own minds. The mind is a powerful thing and our minds have different voices and personality that can create a lot of confusion. When I make assumptions there is always conflict that follows. I know now that through communication we can arrive to resolution. This agreement rings true for me and has caused disappointment and sadness in my life to be at a point in my life that I can ask for what I want.

Second that all members of a group are assumed to have the same characteristics as each other. And lastly that anybody who is seen to belong to a particular group is automatically assumed to have the same characteristics of the group

Stereotypes are widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular person or thing. Racial stereotypes are when you mentally exaggerate a racial group that we hold automatically, not as an individual. We develop stereotypes through our cognitive scheme, which we know for categorization, to make the world more predictable. Just like the worldly opposites, there are negative and positive stereotypes for African Americans. Some negative stereotypes are that black people are criminals or affiliated with drugs. And some positive stereotypes are black people are good singers or really great athletes. The victim(s) of the stereotype takes the steps to counter the bias opinion about themselves. In the series of questions asked, the determination of whether one's bias opinion is true and the group own up to that stereotype to make it true. Or one actually creating the stereotype for their group which is pointed out by another group. These questions were asked towards white and black members of Argo Community High School. White Response (WR) and Black Response (BR) is how the determination will be evaluated, to infer a theory as an general answer.

People are natural evaluators of everything they come across, and they attempt to acquire insights as they evaluate other people. Stereotypes are the beliefs that people hold concerning other human groups after gaining insights about them. Racial stereotypes have been common among African Americans and the whites. In the 20th century, African Americans were stereotyped as contaminated and dirty by the whites; maybe because of the insufficient income they are said to earn. The whites also associate African Americans with substance use.

Deductive arguments claim that their conclusions necessarily follow from their premises. Some commonly used words and phrases in deductive arguments are certainly, absolutely, definitely, conclusively, must be, and it necessarily follows that.

The word stereotypes means a preconceived notion, usually suggesting a group of people. Basically, it means an assumption that is not yet proven. Being surrounded by the polish culture, I encounter some stereotypes made to my fellow brothers and sisters. The two most common assumption made towards Polish nation that they are judgemental, religious.

Presume; verb; suppose that something is the case on the basis of probability; to assume with some evidence; When the girl arrived at her new school, she presumed about everything, as it was just like every other high school. She presumed that this is were all the cool kids sat, judging by it being the best spot in the cafeteria. Based on their calculators, she presumed those were the nerds. In gym class, she could tell who were the superior versus the scrawny and week, just by looking at attitudes. She presumed that whoever she decided to hang with would create a label for her.

Stereotypes can be defined as an exaggerated belief about an individual or a group based on their appearance,

When we were kids our parents make it priority to teach us moral, values, and instill in us certain beliefs. So teaching was instilled us based on cultural, and many was taught to us based on ways to deal with negative societal influences. Assumptions is other component we operate in daily. As we grow into adults we make assumptions based on our values and beliefs. When I think about values, beliefs, and assumptions many different thought come to mind.
