Stereo+something


 * A. What do you understand by the term "stereotype"? Come up with a definition.**

What I think the definition is discrimination of a group of people based on what some of them have done before, A certain opinion or image about a group of people without really knowing a person.
 * Definition-**


 * B. View a story about stereotypes: The Good Samaritan**
 * Then discuss**
 * 1) **Are stereotypes new?** No
 * 2) H**ow do you think stereotypes come about?** Maybe there was a large group of people for example lets say middle east. Maybe allot of them are terrorists so whenever someone sees a middle east guy they think they are terrorist
 * 3) **Do we only create stereotypes of people we fear or distrust?** I think distrust because ever since 9-11 i think middle east especially Arabic people were treated a bit worse becuase we don't wanna trust them near our planes.
 * 4) **Do stereotypes ever have any truth in them**? No i think its just opinions nothing ever true about them.


 * C. View the info on the links below. Detail both positive and negative representations.**
 * The Ransom of Red Chief
 * How Squanto became a Thanksgiving Symbol
 * Time to do away with the Redskins labels
 * School mascots blamed for escalation of stereotypes
 * Indian Mascot PSA


 * D. If we were to develop a mascot for Incarnation Catholic School, what would the mascot be? How would he/she be dressed? How would it present ICS?**

I think it should be a leprechaun since we are a Irish school it would represent us the most. And as for how it should be dressed I think it should be like the usual leprechaun image. Green outfit with a fake pot of gold.


 * E. What is the mascot of the high school you will attend next year? Explain how does it represents the school?**

It is a knight on a horse- Tampa Catholic Crusaders, And I think it represents it perfectly! I really like the mascot and I think its a perfect fit for the Tampa Catholic Crusaders.
