Stereotypes In Hailee Steinfeld's 'Most Girls'

The movie Glory can be described as a classic “underdog story.” It is a true story about a group of African American soldiers known as the 54th Massachusetts Regiment who faced constant prejudice and resentment by white soldiers and officers throughout the Union. However, under the leadership of Colonel Robert Shaw, they were able to prove themselves as a formidable fighting force at the battle of Fort Wagner. Although the 54th Regiment suffered heavy casualties they showed the Union that African American soldiers could be just as effective as white soldiers. While the movie Glory did paint an accurate picture of the Civil War, the 54th Regiment, and the Battle of Fort Wagner, it did have its fair share of stereotypes.

As an alien, I’ve observed the many roles implied on Earth males and females through a Vogue magazine in a Western culture. Although there are a plethora of examples, for the most part; women are shown to be erotic objects, while men do not have much of a role.

Racial stigmas exist everywhere we look including commercials, shows, and movies. There are many influences that come from media outlets that lead society to critizes races and ethnicities by portraying them in having stereotypes as well as discriminating against a specific group, and lastly advertising biased thoughts. For example, the show Fresh Prince of Bel-Air displays African American stereotypes. At the same time, the film American History X which represents the effects of discrimination African Americans and Mexicans. And, the Volkswagen Polo commercials that displays prejudice thoughts against Middle eastern.

The movie Mean Girls is rated PG-13. It was published in 2004 and is a teen and comedy film. Mean Girls is about a teenage girl named Cady who was homeschooled in Africa and recently moves to Illinois. She decides to go to highschool and becomes a part of a group of girls called the “mean girls”. They are a popular group who tend to fit their name.

Do filmmakers depict teenage girls as the only bullies? A film, Mean Girls, is one of the many movies that have misconstrued teenage bullying. Mean Girls is about three white-upper class, popular girls that bully a lower class “nice” girl. Other films, such as A Cinderella Story, and Bring it On have added fuel to the fire. Filmmakers portray bullying by stereotyping, and giving a false representation of bullying.

Breakfast Club film contained a wide variety of behavior and stereotypes. Each person had their own personality and taste at the beginning of the film. I believe that communication played the biggest part in the movie. It shows the way that people from totally different backgrounds can communicate and even agree on issues. The various types of communication and behaviors within the film will be discussed.

It makes me mad as heck that black girls can't just be pretty. Black girls are just as pretty as the girls and other races. I don't understand how people can think otherwise. Generalizing a whole group of people when you've only best small portion of them is crap. I guess it's just funny that people hate being generalize but they do with other races anyway. I just want to send out a friendly reminder that you're pretty for a black girl is not a compliment. How dumb can you truly be to believe that that statement is not offensive. You've already proven to me that her head is full of nothing but stereotypes of black women. Ugly dumb big booty big boobs slim thick and curvy. Instead of seeing this as a people we actually are you're seeing this

Have you ever heard someone say that all Asians are smart, or African Americans are always late, or girls can’t play sports? All if these are called stereotypes. Stereotypes are widely held beliefs for certain groups, and it can be positive, negative, or neutral. In the story “Girls Can’t Play”, Hazel faces a stereotype that girls can’t play ball. However, that is disproved in the story itself and in the article “Why Women Should Play” by Jennifer Shotz.

Mark Water’s ‘Mean girls’ portrays the story of a girl who moves from being home schooled in Africa to entering a public high school for the first time and encounters many psychological problems within the school. Throughout this film many concepts of social psychology were used to portray today’s society. Within the school setting many stereotypes are made of one another along with intergroup conflict resulting in prejudice and discrimination.

In the movie Mean girls Cady at first was a really shy nice girl who was experiencing public schooling for the first time. She did not know what to expect as she walked the hallways of high school. In school Cady experienced some social influence while spying and/or hanging out with the plastics. An example where this is shown is when Gretchen was laying down the rules of "girl world" she was explaining that wearing certain types of clothing like "not wearing the same tank top more than once a week, and only wearing jeans on Fridays" . This type of social influence was shown indirectly because she based her decision on following these steps of roles for the sake of fitting in with others. Visual media is a type of social influence that kids of today go through in this time and age. Things like TV shows, Reality shows, Instagram, books, magazines

Racism is one of the most overlooked faults in America that has always tried to be disguised by money and fame. In the movie, Get Out by Jordan Peele, the protagonist, Chris is caught in a rich white families long researched procedure that required young African American men. The procedure required the daughter of the Armitage family to create a relationship with strapping African American men in order to make them fall in love with her so that they could be, in a sense, enslaved by the family. The men were used to perform their family’s procedure of switching brains with another person. Jordan Peele’s Get Out highlights the destruction of African American identity through white people’s fascination with African Americans merely for their physically

Smart or dumb, white or black, short or tall, jock or a nerd; These are some assumptions society has come up with. Stereotypes exists in one way or another all around the world, from social class to careers to hair color. The world we live in today has so many stereotypes and misconception regardless of the fact not knowing that person. Our society has grouped individuals based on what they see on the outside and not what’s on the inside. Stereotypes were made so that individuals do not have to take time to get to know someone instead they can judge and get to know them based on what they hear about that particular group. Stereotypes are extended to a point where they become unreal, but no matter how far a stereotype has been taken, the

In the teen comedy Mean Girls, directed by Mark Waters, the protagonist (Cady Heron) is welcomed into the stereotypical high school setting after being raised in Africa for all of her educational path. Cady, never being in a public-school setting, comes across the Plastics: Regina George (unspoken leader), Gretchen Wieners (gossip queen), and Karen Smith (the stupid, clueless one), who are at the top of the social pyramid. Befriended by the girls, Cady is left to decide whether or not she belongs in this clique or if her place exists in a different one. Throughout the film satirist and comedic scenes are used to show the different sexist lenses and stereotypes that women are viewed with.

Gender stereotyping occurs a lot in society. Women are supposed to look beautiful and wear pretty dresses, whilst men can get dirty and be sporty. In the film 'She's the man', directed by Andy Fickman, Viola is a teenage girl who loves to play football. Her dreams come crashing down when the girls football team at Cornwall gets cut. So she decides to dress as her brother and go to another college to play. We see gender stereotypes shown in many different ways. Gender stereotypes in the film consist of Viola's making a statement complaining about Viola wanting to kick a muddy ball around instead of looking and dressing pretty. Another way is when the girls team at Cornwall gets cut and they are then laughed at when the coach denies their request to trial for the boys team. Finally we see gender stereotypes in a way of a man who makes out he is strong and nothing can hurt him gets hurt.

When I was a kid, I was always considered a tomboy because I played with the boys, liked to get muddy, and took “no crap from no one”. I was confused on what the term tomboy meant. Does the term mean that I want to be a boy? Well, I didn’t want to be one; I felt like a girl, I looked like a girl. “I am a girl!!”, I would scream back. The term forced me to stay in this tiny box of what society has portrayed out to be a girl. I made myself feel uncomfortable by painting my nails, playing with dolls, and wearing dresses. Why was it that my older sisters always wanted me to wear a dress? I hated wearing dresses. Middle school didn’t get any better. I was made fun of for being flat-chested but then mocked for not showing off my body like the “other
