Some of the negative effects of stereotyping are inability to focus, performing poorly, and falling into harsh stereotyping.

The behavior that the girl was trying to minimize is a problem that many people suffer from. However, like the girl, many people also change their behavior in certain circumstances. The girl has learned to stand up straight through classical conditioning. When the girl was younger, the girl was complimented by her parents when she sat up straight. The praise of her good posture was the unconditioned stimulus, and the pleasure that she felt at this praise was the unconditioned response. As the girl grew older, she would notice that her parents would praise her even more when she had good posture and impressed an authoritative figure, such as a teacher or principal. The authoritative figures that she associated praise with were the conditioned stimuli. As such, her conditioned response was to sit up straighter when talking to an adult of authority. So, when she is with an authoritative figure, she modifies her posture in an attempt to impress them. If nobody cared whether someone had good or bad posture, then the action of straightening up would go extinct. Extinction is when a conditioned response

Throughout our American society, there have been topics, or more specifically, issues, that have been implemented in our lives. Whether it be poverty, economic issues, equality, and thus forth, there is one what has always been around for centuries, but has made a bigger impact is stereotyping. This in-particular topic has lead to a multitude of problems, such as social categorization, and the cause of prejudice. The stereotyping propaganda in the United States has caused more problems and attracted more attention than is truly needed.

In Amy Cuddy's editorial, "Your iPhone is Ruining Your Posture - and Your Mood", she explains how slouching can effect your appearance and how you look towards other people. She explains that we have both a dominant pose (posture) and a weak pose (posture) and we express our perspectives and our identities by our posture. Amy describes that most males have a more dominant posture because of their levels of testosterone are very high and their stress hormone is very low but it can also be the opposite where as their testosterone level is very low and their stress hormone is high making them look like a weak man. Also females tend to give a weak pose when around a male because males tend to be more tough then females.

Posture can affect your social standing in numerous ways. It also affects your health, mood, and appearance. Amy Cuddy’s article use a psychological reason to why posture affects your social standing. Jane E. Brody’s articles uses ethics, Glenn E. Weisfield and Jody M. Beresford use a logical reason in their research paper. Logos, Pathos, and Ethos in their articles. I believe that Amy Cuddy’s article makes the most credible argument.

Why make false allegations of sexual attack happen? Hearing of false sexual allegations is sad to hear. Whenever somebody hears any sexual attack that had been taken in place in time makes anybody feel heavy-hearted. People can only imagine what the victim and the victim's family is going through. At what age can this happen? “males or females of any age, race, social class, appearance or sexual orientation.” Most likely from age twelve or older are rape or sexual assault each year. The time of year this mostly occurs is in the summer. There is an average of 293,066 victims each year. In light of, even when someone here, that the alleged sexual attacker was falsely accused just makes anyone feel melancholy. False allegations can follow you all your life, accusing someone of an attack can make them go into a depression, and allegations can prevent people from getting a job.

One’s posture is a factor in how they feel and are perceived by society. In Amy Cuddy’s editorial “Your iPhone is Ruining Your Posture - and Your Mood,” and her TED Talk “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are,” the topic of posture affecting social standing and emotion is explored with research and personal experience. Cuddy seems to firmly believe that posture is a key factor in one’s life. Jane E. Brody also delves into the conversation with her editorial, “Posture Affects Standing, and Not Just the Physical Kind,” in it she also agrees with Cuddy’s side while appealing more to emotion and using some research. Both editorials cover the same topic, but Cuddy’s appears to be stronger as it appeals to more areas of the rhetorical triangle.

We have talked about several stereotypes in our class. Race, gender, religion, economics, and physical characteristics are just a few of the things that so many of us criticize and mock. We have certainly come a long way. Women and African Americans gained the right to vote, and theoretically, we have laws in place that are supposed to guarantee some sense of equal rights. But we still have a long way to go.

Likewise, the shocking images displayed in #WHERESTHELOVE correlate with the lyrics to enhance the reality and seriousness of the violence and discrimination happening in the world. The images featured in this video add shock value because they are real graphic images from the media present in today’s society. For example, there is a photograph of hundreds of Syrian refugees fleeing a destroyed town. Another photograph is of a young African-American laying face down dead on the street. These photos are shocking because they capture real issues happening to real people, creating the feeling of empathy for the mother that has lost a child to police brutality or the families that are forced to leave their homes from acts of war. In addition to

The new “normal” in America requires most people to live a lifestyle that is unnatural in regards to human biomechanics, that is, to be in a seated in a sedentary state for extended periods of time. America is gradually losing the correct upright human posture and suffering the health effects caused by prolonged sitting, hunching or crouching due to daily job requirements and lifestyle choices. For the purpose of this paper the phrase “seated culture” will be defined by these widespread habits of chronic sitting in the United States.

74 healthy participants from New Zealand who could read and write in English were asked to participate in various different tasks. Before starting the tasks, the participants were randomly assigned to 2 groups. The slumped group who sat on a stool with rounded shoulders, a stooped back, and a bowed head. The other group was the upright group who sat on a stool with a straight back and shoulders (Nair et al. 2015). While in their positions, the participants began their tasks. Such as a reading task, where the participant would read basic information aloud for 3 minutes, after the reading task, the participant did a stress test. The stress test included participants being interviewed for their dream job and asked why they were the best candidate. The results Nair et al. (2015) discovered was that being in the upright position had a substantial increase in perceived threat, self-esteem, task persistence, and cardiovascular response. If upright posture and high power poses show a substantial difference in situations such as interviews. Then performing power poses before partaking in academic activities such as tests or presentations should increase performance and

Almost every night, my parents would tell me to sit up straight when we were eating at the dinner table, and they would say it would help me digest. Also, in high school when I would walk through the halls between classes, many of my friends would compliment me on my posture. I thought it was the strangest thing to compliment someone on. The title “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are,” brought back these memories; therefore, I was interested to see what Amy Cuddy had to say. Cuddy is a social psychologist and a business professor at Princeton. In the TED Talk “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are,” Amy Cuddy discusses the reasons to use power posing, and it could affect the mind for better success in our lives.

All he mention is slouching which is true because as for my self when I would text in class and I would slouch and look under my desk while I was texting and I would feel my back differently because i would slouch.

She even said " Remember next time you reach your phone, it induces slouching, and slouching changes your mood,your memory and even your behavior " which is true because if you get a bad text or see something upsetting your lower self -esteem drops because of what you saw and also it can get you to a bad mood day. She even said that they've come up with names for slouching which is iHunch and ittext neck even iposture

Journalists have conducted observations and studies have shown that people in today’s modern society are still prejudice and stereotypical on the things they view in their daily lives. (James, 2012). Psychologists say that stereotypes are nothing but racism, sexism, and prejudice all summed up together making it a whole. Stereotyping is something that an individual acts upon someone that is weaker, lower status, or minors; furthermore, stereotyping can harm another person’s self-esteem, self-control, confidence, and performance in a task (Robles, 2012). Another problem is that stereotyping is almost everywhere like the work industry, schools, and families. Stereotyping is something that needs to be stopped and the person needs to change their point of view on the world; thus, if someone stereotypes another individual then it puts a label on that individual, also it can harm the person’s emotions and cause them to be ineffective in society. Another researcher has identified how in her opinion that stereotyping is bad for kids and people. “Stereotyping is typically bad because people can judge another person’s looks, personality, and nationality; moreover, somebody can dress in all black and can be judged that they worship the devil, someone will not believe in God and people who are religious can judge that person that they are atheist or that person is not normal for praising God.” (Paul, 1998). Stereotyping is deceiving another person and labeling them with a word or
