Class work 2/5/13

In your journal, please complete these reflection questions if you didn't complete them in class:


*Were any stereotypes posted about groups or categories that you belong to? How did it feel to see them "in print"?

*Where do these stereotypes come from? How are they perpetuated?

Why do you think people say/think things like this about other people?

*There positive as well as negative stereotypes posted. Should positive stereotypes be avoided?  Why or why not?

*Where have you seen these stereotypes portrayed? television programs, movies, magazines, books?  Did you see any on the Superbowl commercials?  Give examples.

*What did you learn from this activity? Is there any group that is free of stereotypes?
