B. View a story about stereotypes: The Good Samaritan Then discuss
 * 1) Are stereotypes new?


 * No, stereotypes are not new they have been around a very long time and the story of the good samaritan is a good example of stereotyping.
 * 1) How do you think stereotypes come about?


 * I don't know for sure but they can come about through mean jokes or racism.
 * 1) Do we only create stereotypes of people we fear or distrust?


 * I think both because if you fear someone you always think there going to be mean or scary all the time and if you distrust someone you never give them a chance of trust towards you. That would be stereotyping.
 * 1) Do stereotypes ever have any truth in them?


 * No, I don't think so because not everybody is the same and someone can't act and be like another person.

C. View the info on the links below. Detail both positive and negative representations. I think this mascot story is all negative becuase all it talked about was how people are offended by mascots but not how mascots are good.
 * Choctaw Nation helped Ireland during 1847 famine
 * How Squanto became a Thanksgiving Symbol
 * Time to do away with the Redskins labels
 * School mascots blamed for escalation of stereotypes
 * 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 a lepercon or a 3 leaf clover would be a good mascot for out school. In a lepercon costume or a 3 leaf clover costume. It would represent ICS becuase we are the Irish and it is a perfect fit for these costumes.

E. What is the mascot of the high school you will attend next year? Explain how does it represents the school? Tampa Catholic's mascot is a crusader. I feel that it fits the school because since it is a catholic school the crusader represents someone fighting against evil to get closer to God.
