 * 1) How do you think stereotypes come about? - I think these came about by a lot of people doing one thing and one person thinking that since so many people do it, probably their whole race does it.
 * 2) Do we only create stereotypes of people we fear or distrust? - Yes
 * 3) Do stereotypes ever have any truth in them? - Sometimes
 * 4) How does point of view influence the telling of a current or historical event? - It affects this because each person has a different POV
 * 5) How does one culture influence another? - Other people from different cultures join each other, so it spreads, then each culture is in different places. Another way is because some people do not want it to be something, so they add a few modifications to change it into their own.
 * 6) What can stories tell us about a culture? - They can tell us about culture because it shows what type of history they had, so they usually keep their tradition to respect whatever stuff they have.
 * 7) What is the impact of stereotyping on cultural understanding? Political action? Personal experience? - Usually, stereotypes are offensive. For example, Asians have small eyes. People make fun of Asians for having small eyes. But this is just a natural feature on the body. You need to learn how to handle the things that people make fun of you for. For political action, they are usually only made fun of for the bad actions that they do. When people make fun of me for the stereotypes that Asians have, I just make fun of myself and laugh with them.
