StereoTypesAJ215


 * 1) How do you think stereotypes come about? Parents that raise there kids to not like a certain type of person.
 * 2) Do we only create stereotypes of people we fear or distrust? No, people create stereotypes because they want people to believe they are "better" than everyone else.
 * 3) Do stereotypes ever have any truth in them? Absolutely not.
 * 4) How does point of view influence the telling of a current or historical event? I don't believe that it does, its all about the readers opinion when they start reading the story.
 * 5) How does one culture influence another? People see things that they like about other cultures more than there own, so they try to follow that cultures ways.
 * 6) What can stories tell us about a culture? How all cultures are different, but it doesn't make one culture better than the other.
 * 7) What is the impact of stereotyping on cultural understanding? Political action? Personal experience? The impact of stereotyping is plain and simple. It gives people hatred, and horribly sickening beliefs that don't even have a reason behind them except for the fact that someone put them there. Stereotyping can cause someone to take someone elses life just because of the color of there skin, the type of person they love, what their gender is, how they act, what they believe in, and what they look like. It can even do worse, it can cause someone to take their own life.
