Stereotypes In TED Talk

Clueless is a 1995 American coming-of-age comedy film written and directed by Amy Heckerling. Cher is a rich high school student in a bubble of stereotypes and teen-stereotypes located in Beverly Hills who tries to boost a new pupil's popularity, but reckons without affairs of the heart getting in the way. Cher comes of as a superficial airhead since her external look at first seems superficial, but rather it hides her wit, charm, and intelligence which help her to deal with relationships, friends, family, school, and the all-important teenage social life.

The Help is a movie based off of the inequalities of segregation in Mississippi in the 1960s. The film correctly illustrates the life of black maids who worked in white households. The film is fictional, but it is indeed factual. There is no inaccurate information, though many things, including the

“Almost one in two (48%) Australian males, face an issue that they don’t want to talk about, the issues of manhood, masculinity and respectful love” – Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

wise woman once said “Stereotypes are fast and easy/ but they are lies/ and the truth takes time.” Deb Caletti. This quote follows stereotyping by saying that they are fast and easy, but what people tell them are not always true. That what people say about someone doesn’t always mean that they have to believe what they are saying. People don't defines them, the only person that define them is themselves. Stereotyping is a big problem in books, movies, and even the world.

In the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson used stereotypes throughout the book. Stereotypes the school into groups Like the Jocks, Cheerleaders, marthas and goths, I see those same stereotypes in the movie Mean Girls. In the movie Mean Girls the one girl points out all the different groups of

The film Bamboozled is an attempt to reappropriate black stereotypical presences in film. Several of the characters correspond with the classical and enduring stereotyped roles such as the Uncle Tom and the coon, however their utilization within the film’s satirical context allows for a historical exploration of the stereotypes as well as a reconfiguration of their meaning in terms of contemporary relevance. Through an analysis of the central figures Peerless Dothan, Manray, and Womack, one can identify the ways in which the film allows for them to transcend and redefine their roles. Additionally, the figures of Sloan and Dunwitty provide further commentary about black cultural identity and white hegemony in the twenty first century.

A large portion of the world’s older generation possesses the mindset that smartphones are decreasing our intelligence. This view has been held for years and is understandable, but Daniel T. Willingham presents a different idea in his article “Smartphones Don’t Make Us Dump”. Daniel T. Willingham is a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia and is the author of Raising Kids Who Read: What Parents and Teachers Can Do. He gears his article towards the parents of the future generations; correcting their misconceptions and inserting a proper one using logos.

In the novel Speak Laurie Halse Anderson uses stereotypes throughout the book. She stereotypes the groups like the Marthas, they consider themselves followers of Martha Stewart, and the Jocks. I see these same stereotypes all the time.

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.

The “I am Campaign” has influenced me to understand that everything is stereotyped but should not be and by doing this project we were able to influence peoples thoughts about stereotyping. Stereotyping is categorizing people into a specific group of people into what another person would see them as. The

I think my greatest and foremost requirement as a teacher is to make every student feel welcome. This can include working on bullying, diminishing the single story stereotypes, accommodating for each individual student's’ needs, and more. It is very crucial that students feel that they have a safe and comfortable space where they can learn and actively participate. Even if I may not agree with something a student believes in or does, it is very important that I do not let that get in the way of how I treat them, or how I let others treat them. This can also apply to my faculty members, fellow teachers, and the school district. There will be many people who have different views and beliefs as me, but the most important thing is the students,

The videos “The Hidden Messages in Kids Movie” and “Negative Disney Stereotypes” were very informative. I found these videos very interesting and insightful. I do agree that their are many hidden messages in Kid’s movies and that they may end up teaching children the wrong idea. I do agree that their is way too much violence in today’s films. I work in a pre-k classroom and I see how children are influenced by popular movies of today such as the new Power Rangers film and The Avengers movies. Many kids are quick to imitate what they see in these films such as the use of violence when playing with action figures in order to fight the “bad guys.”

Steadfast Stereotypes Stop it. Everyone needs to stop it. Stop labeling each other by gender, race, hair color, etc. What is a stereotype? Stereotypes are labels that people put on other people and themselves. Maybe it’s because it makes them people feel better about themselves, or maybe it’s not meant

Hi, Brianna I agree with you, not everybody with their different skin color means that they are bad. People need to understand these days, stereotyping is not the option to prevent what’s going on in the world. Instead, we could interact with different cultures and learn something new about them.

Her TED talk, “The Danger of a Single Story”, filmed on July of 2009, with over 13 million views, is a reflective speech that allows the audience to deeply consider how they judge people, places, and/or cultures. She explains how narrow-mindedness, stereotypes, and conflicts could be established through the exposure of one single story as it prevents us from seeing things in any other light. Her audience is generally towards older Americans, starting from teens and beyond, because she discusses her speech in the perspective of a woman who lives in the United States. Although she discusses her opinions and thoughts as an American, her TED talk is for the general public, as we all have made false judgements of people, places, and/or cultures based on a single story.
