Culture plays a large part in creating stereotypes. Look around you and pay attention to what message the images around you are sending. Find an image that is based on a stereotype. You can find images in a wide variety of places including social media posts, memes, commercials, billboards, posters, book covers, even cereal boxes! Feel free to be creative about where you look.
In your journal response:
At the top of your response, include the image you found. Depending on where you find your image, this may mean that you need to take a photo or screenshot of what you’re seeing in order to upload it into your document.
Who does the image treat as the ingroup? Who would feel like they belong to an outgroup when seeing this image?
What stereotype does the image display? What are some reasons this stereotype may have developed in your culture? (Hint: Think about the different perspectives/explanations for prejudice and discrimination.)
How could you change the image to be more egalitarian?
Don’t forget to define all course concepts that you include in your journal! For example, make sure you are including definitions for ingroup, outgroup, stereotype, and egalitarian.
This is a term you can mention in your journal. It is important that you mention the proper nouns and explain their definitions in your journal?
