In class we talked a lot of stereotypes.
The stereotype is when a person gives a 'label to other
making a generalization. For example: "all the Chinese rice-eating" all Italians are mobsters, ...
People can not prove the truth of these stereotypes
they know not all Chinese or all Italians.
We also saw a program on MTV called "IF You Really Knew Me", some students talking about gossip, posh, sports, popular, and so on.
These students form groups that you label each other:
there is a group of "emo", the "invisible", etc..
Teachers organize activities to destroy the prejudices with a kind of psychologists. These two psychologists to break down stereotypes
divide students into groups and they tell each of them their lives. In this way a person understands what he thinks of someone else before you know it is not true, he understands that it is better to know a person instead of teasing
why we can say that stereotypes can be removed
knowing.
