StereotypeICSCZ15

The definition of stereotype is to judge someone by what you think a group does. I understand that it's a good thing to do about groups of people.
 * A. What do you understand by the term "stereotype"? What is the definition?**

B. View a story about stereotypes: The Good Samaritan Then discuss
 * 1) **How do you think stereotypes come about?** I think stereotypes come about from people starting rumors and people thinking that a group of people do something a lot.
 * 2) **Do we only create stereotypes of people we fear or distrust?** We normally create stereotypes of other people not like if you make fun of a friend's group of friends because they all do the same you most likely won't make fun of your own group.
 * 3) **Do stereotypes ever have any truth in them?** Stereotypes never have any truth in them or it wouldn't be a stereotype. A stereotype is false information about a group that for a stereotype to be true it would be that everybody does that stereotype which wouldn't be a stereotype anymore it would just be a fact.
 * 4) **How does point of view influence the telling of a current or historical event?** Point of view can influence the telling of a current or historical event because we view things differently and sometimes we don't hear everything and say that they said something else or something happened. We just guess many things about event's based on bit's of pieces of information we have.
 * 5) **How does one culture influence another?** One culture could influence another by what they do or how they behave.
 * 6) **What can stories tell us about a culture?** Stories can tell us many things about a culture such as what they did, actions they made, how they behaved, where they lived, what they ate many things.
 * 7) **What is the impact of stereotyping on cultural understanding? Political action? Personal experience?** The impact of stereotyping on cultural understanding isn't very bad it's just what people normally think are customs about a culture sometime they think it's weird sometime they like that they do that. Political action people think stereotype is a bad thing that nothing should be stereotyped because that's not fair. Personal experience I don't think stereotype is a good thing but it also can be about like cultures or how you think a influential group acts and want to follow.
