Stereotypes: Necessary Or Inhumane?

I am a typical brown girl on the outside, but a totally different person on the inside just like an egg. Even though I will be as quiet as an egg if put in boiling water, my inside will be screaming. I am not like some people, I have two different cultures now that I am in America now. Two years ago I was in India, being a girl with less opportunities, but here I can do what I set my heart on because I know I will have a way to reach it. I have changed how I see the world now, my beliefs have changed and my goals are in a bigger level now. Your cultural identity can change when you are exposed to new and different things.

Because the girl was under 12 at the time of the alleged offense, the first-degree felony carries a potential penalty of life in prison.

Chimamanda Ngozi once said, “The problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.” (Stereotypes). Many stereotypes effect us. They can also have a negative effect and those affected by it can feel insecure because they may be judged or treated because of that certain stereotype. Stereotypes are labels that are unfairly placed on people, and they affect all of us.

The film does have a very important and very controversial content. The film was violent and showed things as I truly believe the way things were. Yes, it was hard to watch at times, but it was the truth. The film is a really good example on what happens when people live life with hatred in their hearts. A good thing that Derek’s younger brother Danny learned that he wrote on his paper is “hate is baggage, life is too short to be p*ssed off all the time, it’s just not worth it” and I agree with him.

In the United States, anyone can live and practice any tradition and values they please, but this freedom does not guarantee anyone’s practice will be accepted by society. In big cities, such as New York, there is a diverse population filled with people of different ethnicities, religions, and social class. Even though we see and meet different people every day we are conditioned to accepted a universal belief about their native group as a whole. This belief is a stereotype and is often untrue. Still, stereotypes dictate our thoughts and actions and do not consider the individuals in the group nor their feelings. Believing in stereotypes always lead to serious consequences. Stereotypes of poverty, the disabled and Islam are hurtful because

I moved into a quiet neighborhood in Orlando, Florida on January 24, 2008. I was a college student working part time at a local Target. I kept to myself and tried to make a little money and have good grades. I didn’t really know anyone, and no one really knew me unless I either worked or went to school with them. One day in early March, I was working on my yard and a little girl tossed her ball into my yard by accident. She ran over and grabbed it. As she ran off, I noticed how happy she was to just be playing with a ball, something that anyone else would take for granted. She looked happy and so excited.

There are numerous assumptions and stereotypes people fabricate about WIC participants. Some of these assumptions and stereotypes are that people on the WIC program abuse the system by being dependent on the system and not using government assistance programs as they were originally intended when it was created in 1972. Additionally, other assumptions are that the majority of minorities or people of color are using these government agencies. I believe the writer of this case study used this assumption when writing it because she made a point to give the readers the illusion that Mrs. Ortiz is of Hispanic origin. Another assumption that I perceived from this case study is the use of the name Rebecca obviously the author is trying to refer

1.) I believe that the stereotypes of the majority groups are less damaging because they are less likely to be negative. For example, a stereotype of the wealthy is that they are “living the dream.” Yet they can be negative, for example, a stereotype of a politician is that they are “never to be trusted.” These stereotypes may often be outweighed by the success brought by the status of that majority group. In contrast, the stereotypes of minority groups are often more derogatory and attacking in content. For example, janitors are frequently assumed to be “poor and uneducated,” this stereotype can be more damaging to one’s self-esteem.

I survey my family and found that all five of them agreed that everyone is a little racist. I had one person not want to respond because she felt that not everyone was a little bit racist but that they all have a difference of opinion. I was surprised that only one person justified their answer by saying we are ignorant of other cultures and this is what makes us all a little racist. She is the mother of a Hispanic and Black baby. Although, the cutest baby, she gets a lot of comments from strangers about her daughter’s race. Some connection that I made to the reading and video/radio content is that although people do not do it on purpose they tend to be racist about situations. In the reading, the story talks about a picture of two black people

Stereotyping is a never ending cycle, one that occurs daily and victimizes everyone. According to Julia Marsh, Author of Barneys busted student for shopping while black. A young black man, recently was discriminated “On October 22, 2013, in Queens, New York, a nineteen year old black college student named Tayvon Christian, who is nineteen years old, walked into the store Barneys with the excitement of purchasing a designer belt by Salvatore Ferragamo. After making the purchase of the belt, Christian was grabbed and held in the security office by an undercover officer who then asked him how a young black man such as himself could afford to purchase such an expensive belt. The worker from Barneys assumed Christian was fraudulent, and made him provide his identification, debit card, and receipt from the purchase. Officers even called his bank to determine if it was really his card, and it was. Christian was released, by the officers and he is suing Barneys and the NYPD for unspecified damages (Marsh, 1). Tayvon was the victim of stereotyping. In today’s society stereotypes play an important role, because it is broken down into so many categories such as religion, homosexuality, and race. Stereotyping is widespread in America and all over the world. It is based on generalized belief about a particular group or class of people. Tayvon was a victim of stereotype because people tend to believe that majority of black males are thieves and do not have the money to purchase certain
