At a turbulent time in Australian history and society, the year of 1971, David Williamson produced a powerful play entitled The Removalists. Based upon numerous themes including domestic violence, sexism, abuse of power and bullying, Williamson’s play has six characters portraying Australian attitudes. By using stereotyped exaggerated characters in contrast with realistic characters and style, Williamson effectively exposes the faults of society.

What does it mean to be an "outsider?" S.E. Hinton wrote the book "The Outsiders." This is a story about two groups of teens: the Greasers and the Socs. The Socs are popular and have lots of money. The Greasers are not popular and do not have a lot of money. "The Outsiders" teach us about stereotypes, friendships, and acceptance. "The Outsiders" is a timeless novel that people can continue to relate to today.

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.

Shackleton?s yearning to explore the Antarctic was born out of his desires to achieve the improbable and attain fame and notoriety (Morrell and Capparell 32). Both the Artic and the Antarctic remained unexplored in the first decade of the twentieth century, and the promises of celebrity, honor for one?s country, and possible wealth were the romantic rewards for the explorers of the day (28, 55).

The danger of a single story is that they let the powerful downgrade the weaker because they create stereotypes, they can hurt the people, and no one gets represented from the culture.

In the short novel The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hinton, many 1960s stereotypes are used which separate the characters by where they live, how they dress, and how they act, but Hinton quickly gave characters who did not abide or fit these stereotypes. This showed that no matter your hair, dress, home, hobbies, or financial situation, everyone will always be different, but that doesn’t mean no two people cannot become friends. The stereotypes that follow you do not determine your personality or actions, only you.

The film Ethnic Notions examines the various caricatures of African Americans in popular culture and the consequences of these representations from the 1800s to the 1980s. The film showed how America went through a face of injustice for a period of time. The internet defines stereotype as qualities assigned to groups of people related to their race, nationality and sexual orientation, to name a few. (Kemick) Throughout American history, African Americans have been victims of stereotypes in many ways. White majority use violence caricatures, stereotypes, dominance, subordination and the media as ways to overpower African Americans.

In Ralph Ellison’s novel, The Invisible Man, he exemplifies that by resisting stereotypes, he further confirms that in the process of rejecting stereotypes people ultimately conform to them when they use violent resistance. This furthers our understanding of the character development of Chief Bromden in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest in which he conforms to to society’s expectations of Native Americans by claiming he is deaf and unable to speak as he later challenges their views with violence.

When I was only a little girl, I had been told that true beauty came from within. Yet as I grew up, I noticed that looks mattered. From their attractiveness, race, age, or gender, anyone’s image was always up for scrutiny. Under those circumstances, I grew up thinking that if people were to judge me based on my appearance, that I should judge them the same way. Though, as I became older, I at some point learned that how a person looked wasn’t always in their range of control. A person simply isn’t born with the choice of picking what they look like, nor are they born with the choice of having a genetic disorder or disease. In that case, I believe that nobody should be defined purely based on what they look like.
