Stereotypes Across Generations

In the AVID article entitled “Is this generation really more informed” Darcy Palder and Syeda Sameeha explain whether this generation is really more informed or not. Many may say that this generation is more informed because of all the new technology that this generation has and all the sources right in their hands, but do Millennials really take in that information do they take the time to read the news or is it just there. One may not believe that this generation is more informed, Millennials may have all the information there for them, but do they actually read it and know what is going on in the world.

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.

Modern day stereotypes and prejudice only help to nationalize the hysteria and make it appear like less of a problem and more like entertainment. This can be seen, specifically, with the current Syrian Refugee Crisis occurring in the United States. Walter Kirn, an American novelist and literary critic, stated that ‘‘Everyone loves a witch hunt as long as it’s someone else’s witch being hunted.’’ (Kirn, Walter). Thus, proving that the Crucible was also looked upon as daily entertainment and the Syrian Refugee Crisis. Society has become more susceptible to hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials because of it’s contentment.

The purpose of Simon Sinek’s talk is to explain why Millennials are disillusioned, they are in a moral and societal gray area, and what society can do to help Millennials compensate.

I would have to say one thing that really pisses me off is how judgmental people are in todays world and how it creates so many different social classes . Not all, but some people like to act like they are psychics. They think they can tell who you are and what kind person you are ,what kind person you have been,and, what kind of person you're going to be just by passing you in the hallway. They can tell all this without even saying a single word to you. For example I was held back in the eighth grade because I failed my math class with flying colors so my parents thought it best that I hopefully mature and grow up a little before I got to high school. In doing, I left my comfort zone I had been with my class since I started their

This generation has the capability to be more informed by using technology, but does that mean we are truly more informed than other generations? This generation has social media as a source of information, one also could go online for anything they need, and one has access to almost all the news around the world. I believe that this generation is more informed than previous generations, but others may think that teens don't take advantage of the information that is given and that we aren’t informed as much as people should be.

Good turnout this year. All the kids seem nice, hopefully some of them are doodlers, I have been wanting some new tattoos. As it is the beginning of the year, I have been scrubbed squeaky clean to make the school seem more professional. I mean of course I still have some indentations, but they are only a heart that says “RS+DS” and a rocketship. At least I hope it is a rocketship. You never know what to expect with the doodlers. Some of them are “damaged” kids who draw band logos and write emo song lyrics everywhere, some are jocks apparently confused of their sexuality and feel the need to draw “rocket ships” everywhere, some are just bored kids drawing a tornado or a star, and the elite few are actual artists with a light hand and a good eye for detail. I like the artist ones the most, it makes me content that I may be supporting a kid who becomes successful. As for some other kids, well, at least they have a nice smile.

Stereotypes are a big problem in our society. Stereotypes create a concept of individuals based on what people see and force them to behave the same as others do. Racial stereotypes can cause many negative effects. Living in a country with mixing cultures, people can’t get rid of these stereotypes. Media plays an important role in transmitting these stereotypes. TV advertisements and films often display young African-American males as gangsters or drugs dealers. They always focus on the negative aspects of “Black” people and never show the good things about them. Also, there are rarely combined ethnic groups on television shows. Usually actors or actresses in a show are from one race and most of them are white people. That is the way stereotypes

Victims - a common stereotype that reflects the medical approach to disability is to view

Negatively Stereotyping others is a substantially serious social issue in todays society. There are various different underlining issues like hate crimes, bullying, suicides and deaths that compose the severity of it alarming in todays society. Countless people stereotype without acknowledging the effects. As shown throughout their actions and behaviors, even their children begin to obtain the same attributes and judgmental state of minds as their parents. In reality, todays society most likely doesn't stop an consider the cause and affect. While others on the opposite side of this situation might suffer detrimental effects. Field studies shown on children who were bullied, were more than likely to have long term psychological issues through

After I read the sources I realized how important demographics are for literature and TV shows. It’s interesting how demographics of a country can affect the entire economy on a country. For example, in one of the sources I read how now channels have more advertisements on prescriptions and travel that 20 years ago did not exist. I believe that older people are as important as the younger generations for the TV industries and economics in general because they are the ones that have the money and they are as involve in the technology world as younger generations.

In all honesty, every single part of Santa Clara’s vision appeals to me. A strong belief of mine that has been solidified through the communities I have joined this year is that being uneducated leads to division. One of the communities is ALLY/APANO, who are individuals, mostly students, who unite to fight against the social injustice in the world. We do so through protest and campaigns that is aimed to educate the public, if we can eliminate the stereotypes placed upon each other and make others understand, this would unite us. One of the biggest accomplishment made is that ethnic studies are now being implemented and added to Portland Public Schools curriculum, one step closer to the big picture of unity. Another fun fact I’ve learned through

Stereotypes have an important role in society today. According to the textbook stereotyping is overgeneralizations of characteristics to large human groups. Stereotypes can be very simple or complex on which people the stereotypes apply to just based on their appearance, behavior and beliefs. Stereotypes can be found anywhere you go or in what you watch. Some media tries to have hardly any stereotypes but, they are there just not obvious. Though people are trying to get past the barrier of stereotypes, in many ways it seems almost impossible to remove it from the world.

From the moment my mom gave birth to me, I was raised in an environment full of culture. The monthly loteria days, full of tamales and menudo, seemed like a normality to me. Coming from an intensely Mexican family, there were obviously traditions that may have seemed weird to those that did not experience day-to-day exposure to our heritage.

¨No sports, no jeans, you have to cross your legs.¨ This is what women have to do to be accepted by today's world on how they should act. Women have a harder time living up to modern day stereotypes because, they should always be ladylike and they have to act like a lady to get a man.
