(( Few_examples_of_stereotypes ))
Hey all of you!!!
In this post, I would like to give you a few examples of stereotypes made by the society or by I group that we saw during Monday class.
So, let’s start with the gender clichés.
Men: Cannot be trusted and have no feelings. Is that right? I mean, can we generalize it so much? I really don't think so. In my opinion many men have feelings, even strong ones, but they don't show them because of the image they have to give to the society: men don't have feelings, don't cry, etc.... So, I think that they have feelings, and when they show them, can be very cute and romantic!!! Hiding them is really pathetic!!!!!
Women: Are bad drivers, good at cooking and talk to much. Well in fact, I don't agree with the first one because when you see statistics about accidents, you discover that most of them are made by men. But, with the last two ones, I have the same opinion! Of course, many men are good at cooking, but women are better!! And the part of "talk to much" is true!! I mean... its part of us!!
Boys: Are selfish, good at math. Well, selfish, in many cases, it can be true. But it depends of the boy, his personality. Boys can be very very nice... I mean, a big part of my friends are boys!! And I trust them, enjoy life with them a lot !
Good at math? Hmmm.... we can discuss that !! I confess: I'm really not good at math. But most of my friends ((girls)) are!!! I'm not saying boys aren't but the idea that boys are more clever or more intelligent that girls is absolutely wrong ! So, resuming, I don't agree with this stereotype.
Girls: food at lit, hysterical. All right, I confess... I think girls have an obsession with their weight, but that can become a problem. We all have in mind the image of the perfect girl, with a perfect body and all this stuff. And we all try to be like them. And sometimes it becomes obsessive. My opinion about that is that we have to accept ourselves and don't try to always be the perfect girl. Trying to make ourselves more beautiful is normal... But transform that in an obsession become a problem!! If we eat healthy foods and if we practice sports is in off to have a nice body!!!
Hysterical? I'm not sure. Some girls are but naturally, others pretend to be hysterical just to transmit the image that a girl is necessarily hysterical, and the last group of girls just isn’t. I'm in this last group. Pretending being hysterical, in my opinion, is really stupid. I mean, why? The image of the girls by the society has evolved, we don't need anymore to claim that we are hysterical!
I can give many others examples of stereotypes!!
Like for the animals: people consider cats independent animals, dogs are loyal...
Or nationalities stereotypes: Irish are considered stupid and are seen like people who sing all time (( they are not stupid and they sing very well even if some songs are... how can I say... different !! )), Italian are known as good lovers (( it's probably right ! I'm accepting this stereotype because I never met much Italians guys)), German have no sense of humor ((Oh!! That is completely right!! I went many times in Germany and they really don't have a lot of sense of humor, and they are not friendly either. ))
Jobs stereotypes exist too. For an example, opera singers are seen like fat people (Is that right? I really don't have any idea about it!! ), artist are hyper sensitive (This can be true!!), scientist are absent-minded ((God that's true !! It is really incredible how a scientist is absent-minded. They are always imagining new things, and are always in the moon. I mean... Hello!! Stay with us!! ))
Well, those are my examples!! Appreciate them and react!!
See you tomorrow!!!
