Stereotypes In The Looking Glass

Stereotypes are everywhere. The shaping of an individual’s identity can be affected through stereotypes, especially one’s on race or religion. Stereotypes can affect an individual’s way of thinking. Stereotypes hinders an individual from becoming the person they

Stereotypes of different races and religions affect people in many ways. Long ago some races weren’t able to vote in the U.S. Luckily things have changed and now everyone can vote. People from Quebec have only been able to vote for the past 31 years 3. People make jokes about people’s race, religion, nationality, and gender all the time. People are put in categories as “popular”, “smart”, “dumb”, “athletic”, “not athletic”, and many more. People really don’t what’s going on with other people and they stereotype people based on their race, religion, etc. They don’t understand that stereotyping is a hateful thing and no one should do it. People don’t realize what their doing is wrong until it’s brought to their

Stereotype is a sweeping statement standardized image about a person or group with little or no evidence. The primary purpose is to hurt one’s feelings or to attack one’s character. Have you ever stereotyped someone or felt like you were being stereotyped against? How did being stereotyped affect you, or how did it make you feel once you got to know the person or persons? All kind of people make up our society. Within society, there are a massive amount of groups, most of which have been stereotyped in one way or another. We develop stereotypes when we are reluctant or incapable to obtain all information needed to make fair judgments about people or situations. In the absence of the unknown statistics, stereotyping allow us to

Stereotypes can be defined as judgements that people make about other without knowing them personally, and stereotypes impact our society in many ways. For example, in an interview with Guy Raz from NPR, Jamila Lyiscott says that “you have this lens where you're looking at yourself through the lens of other people the way that they're looking at you” (Raz, Guy, and Jamila Lyiscott). In this quote

The first thing that must be addressed is what a stereotype exactly is and dive into why they are so prevalent. In short, stereotypes are shortcuts that allow your brain to make a quick judgments based on visible characteristics such as (but not confined to) gender, race, or age. One of the most important themes used in social environments are stereotypes which act to depict common opinions within a certain group about people outside their circle. It improves relationships within the group by creating something they can agree on. They are internalized during social interaction. They can be a result of our own observations or from the influence of significant others, such as family, friends, teachers and media. While they can be innocent thoughts like assuming a senior citizen needs help

“The problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story” ( LaVigne, Kelly). Our society groups people the same way and don’t consider their differences. For example individuals see a girl that’s skinny and automatically assume she’s anorexic or see a tall person and assume they’re good at basketball. Stereotypes effect the way people see the world whether they’re true or untrue. Stereotypes give a fixed mindset on things because humans feel it isn’t always necessary to be open minded and learn the information needed before judging.

Stereotypes can be found everywhere you go; they are inescapable. You can find stereotypes in schools, malls, parks, and the workplace. Believe it or not, people label others for a reason. Stereotyping can be traced back to thousands of years ago. Stereotypes can affect people very negatively. People can think very badly of themselves because of stereotyping which can lead to depression, self harm, or suicide. Stereotyping is not only negative, it is also unfair. Everyone has a story but by instantly judging them, you will never know what is truly going on and they might be completely different than what you expected.

Stereotypes are an official representation of a community. That’s an obvious fallacy, but stereotypes are a concept that are seen as the unofficial, yet the official view of a certain community. Stereotypes are a complex yet simple concept that can either reinforce or dismantle someone’s view on another individual. Specifically, cultural stereotypes that are broadcasted on a basis. In today’s world, cultural stereotypes are used as a means of categorizing an individual or community without truly knowing them. Cultural stereotyping can negatively affect the individual experience by minimizing their value, differentiating how they’re viewed in society, and affecting how they’re treated.

In our world today we struggle with stereotypes causing many issues in our society. Some problems we encounter are Same Sex Marriage, The Black lives matter movement, feminism, Terrorism, and who is the best president for 2017. We believe that same sex marriage is not right, there is a difference in a person because the color of their skin, women have less value, and should we send US troops to fight against ISIS. These are one of the biggest problems in the world today and I believe we should start taking action now instead of waiting around for some miracle to happen. Some of these issues have been around for centuries.

Stereotypes play a major role in the way we simplify our world, both socially and physically. When we meet a new person or are exposed to a culture for the first time, it reduces the amount of thinking we must do in order to attempt to interpret them. Stereotypes are prevalent in everyday society. Just walking on the street and coming to a conclusion about someone based on their appearance is an example of a stereotype. Stereotyping can exist on a small scale with interactions between two people and can exist on a larger scale with larger groups of people.

Stereotypes are by definition a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person. Stereotypes can apply to other things as well but I will focus on the stereotypes seen in society. As we have seen in “To Kill a Mockingbird”, stereotypes have been present throughout history. However, it seems that even though stereotypes usually carry negative effects on people with their presence, they have lingered with us for some strange reason.

Stereotypes are a widely held but fixed and oversimplified images or ideas of a particular type of person, a group or a thing. For most people, there is at least one time in their lives were they felt or knew they were a

For Germans, "Gemuetlichkeit"- a nice and comfortable home is highly valued and cleanliness and tidiness are valued. Many Germans consider that a person should remove their shoes before entering a home.

As an individual in a society where racism, sexism, and discrimination is very common, I unintentionally stereotype a person when I first see them. Admitting this fault seems very judgemental and inconsiderate of me, but it just shows how our society enabled this; no one was born as a person who judges another by appearance. Although, stereotyping is something that shouldn’t be followed and constantly doing it could lead no being named a bigot.

A stereotype can be based on historical factors or a form of discrimination. When a person thinks it's okay to judge by gender, race, religion etc. Someone getting the thought that they are much more than others, someone being too proud to realize we are all humans no matter shape or form. Everyone is affected by these stereotypes, every single person has had a judgemental stereotype in their life. Stereotypes tend to hurt people's feelings by bashing them about their appearance, such as weight, clothing, height, facial appearance.
