The Stereotype Of A Young Girl

So, I've seen a lot of articles about girls writing to a certain group of guys who treat girls with little thought. There are articles about guys being players and guys who can't seem to be tied down or stay in a relationship. Well, I'm here to say that I am the girl version of that guy. Even though I see myself settling down someday, I can't keep a relationship going for more than a few months.

A widely known stereotype about teenagers is that they are all arrogant. Everyone believe that teenagers are arrogant, some are but not all. Arrogance is just a personality people should stop taking teenagers confident as arrogance. Even children and some grown adult are arrogant. The idea of been arrogant has a teenager has affected a lot of teenagers and it can lead to missed opportunities. For example, if a young 17 years old skilled teenager needs a job, she might not be given the job because the interviewer might take her confidence has been arrogant. Such teenagers have missed the opportunity of getting a job in what she is skilled in.

Why do such perceptions exist? Is it because it is fact? Possibly. Does media stir this discussion? Almost certainly. What cultural winds serve to convey these striking generalizations? The world today, despite being more interconnected than ever, still suffers from a lack of understanding on the part of its people. We fail to see through lenses other than our own. How do we rid the world of vacuous stereotypes?

John Marsden, the author of Tomorrow, When the War Began once said about teenagers: “I believe passionately in their strength, intelligence and abilities and I think we often underestimate their capabilities.” The way society and the media negatively perceive young teenagers does not necessarily represent reality.

As one of the protagonists, Ellie Linton discovers that there is a new potential truth for Australia. The author raises three key concepts about teenage stereotypes by Ellie’s survival during the invasion of a foreign force. John Marsden suggests that she experiences a rapid transformation from a ‘tomboy’ to a hero and is placed in dangerous situations where the consequences are everlasting. Through Ellie’s actions, behaviours and reactions, he also informs the reader about her alters in reality when she learns about the qualities she thought she never had.

Lastly, these stereotypes have been around for awhile and they are still around for one reason and one reason only. Stereotypes have truth in them. For example, statistically 50.5% asians all have a bachelor’s degree or higher.This means that not all asians are smart, but a large portion of them are smart, so in conclusion, stereotypes can be good and bad.

Stereotypes… We all have had to deal with them. They may seem somewhat harmless and anybody who takes it seriously is obviously overreacting. But, what if I told you that these seemingly small things are the first step in a larger cycle? Behind racism, injustice, stereotypes, and etc. is fear, more specifically fear of the unknown. However, it is not fear that leads to racism, it is the insensitive actions that occur due to this fear and through the use of stereotyping they reinforce their fear and justify their actions.

Almost every culture or race has a stereotype, including American Indians, non-Indians, Jewish people, Blacks, and among others. Stereotypes and myths are formed by the mass media, our peers, or reputations passed on by parents. Any time you are grouping races or individuals together and make a judgment about them without knowing them, is an example of making a stereotype. A stereotype is based on prior assumptions; we all use stereotypes, all the time without knowing. Both positive stereotypes and negative stereotypes are limiting an individual.

Going back to the Freedom Writers book, many of the student had a hostile attitude towards their teacher because she was white and they don’t feel like she is up to the task because they feel like she is too delicate and doesn’t really know how rough their life is.

Racial stereotyping is an automatic mental picture that is exaggerated and something we hold to members of a racial crowd. As a nation, we stereotype people based on their race and don’t consider the individual differences. So, the real question is how is racial stereotyping developed? From an early age, we are taught to associate people, objects and places into categories however, as we grow up we tend to put more emphasis on attributing values into these racial groups. Additionally, the less we exchange with particular ethnic groups the more inclined we are to have negative perceptions about them.

Stereotypes are not hard to come by in popular American culture, and truly in popular cultures the world over. Human beings seem programmed to make quick and superficial judgments about anyone who is or who simply appears to be "different" or "other than" oneself, equating race, ethnicity, skin color, and/or country of origin with a set of specific attitudes, values, and behaviors that are often insultingly oversimplified and incorrect. The United States has had more than its share of struggles with accepting newcomers and dealing with minorities of all stripes, possibly due to the fact that the nation has a rich history of immense immigration that has led to higher levels of multi-ethnic and multicultural interactions and social pressures than have existed in many other nations.
