Stereotype

A.What do you understand by the term "stereotype"? What is the definition?
==== A stereotype is a widely held but fixed image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. From what I know a stereotype is like how we see someone or judge them. Like police eating donuts is a great example of a stereotype because it is how we stereotype a police. ====

How do you think stereotypes come about? I think stereotypes came about by people opinions. Peoples opinions eventually, all together, turned into a stereotype for a person.
==== Do we only create stereotypes of people we fear or distrust. fear No. People form stereotypes for anyone they have a strong opinion about. I don't think it has to be out of fear or distrust, it can but doesn't have to be. ====

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 represent ICS?
==== If ICS where to have a mascot it would be a leprechaun.I chose a leprechaun because Incarnation is the Irish and leprechaun represents the Irish! I would dress the leprechaun in green and clovers, I would make sure he has red hair and was small. I would get the mascot to jump around like a leprechaun! ====

E. What is the mascot of the high school you will attend next year? Explain how does it represents the school?
==== I will be attending Bishop McLaughlin next year. Bishop is the hurricanes! At the moment we are in the process of getting a costume for are mascot. A hurricane is a hard thing to represent so a the moment we are finding a costume. ====
