Complete 4.04 Stereotypes Discussion.

Every group has been the victim of stereotyping, whether it is a racial group, ethnic group, age group, gender group, or even a group based on where you live. Everyone deals with stereotypes, both positive and negative. For this discussion:

1) Think about all of the different groups you belong to (race, ethnicity, gender, age, occupation, where you live, where you are from, etc).

2) Select one of the groups you belong to and think of two stereotypes about that group:

  • One positive stereotype that you are proud of
  • One negative stereotype that bothers you

3) Compose one paragraph expressing your group and both stereotypes. Post that paragraph to 4.04 Stereotypes Discussion.

4) Read your classmates' posts and find at least two that include stereotypes that are different than the ones you wrote about.

5) Respond to those posts with a comment about what you think can be done to overcome the stereotype. Remember to be positive, kind, and specific in your response.
