Why People Use Stereotypes In Research
Have you ever been in a situation where someone says something that is not true because they are trying to be funny? Well there's a word for it,stereotypes. Stereotypes happen a lot of the time in conversations, it is usually about your religion or race. But the real question is why do people use stereotypes if they know it's wrong? I believe they do that because they don’t understand or people are trying to be funny in a racist way. But the effect is more painful than the person who says it attends. Stereotypes can lead to many health issues. For an example if you were to say something to me that’s not true about my religion/race, it could go into depression or anxiety. In case you don’t know what depression or anxiety is, “depression is when

You shouldn’t have to be ashamed of your religion or race just because you're worried about what others would say. Right now I’m am so angry with the world for creating such a thing. But truly there is only one thing to do, which is don’t judge a book by it's cover. I know it seems corny but it’s true. From personal experience I have heard people say thing like “she wears a hijab so she must be a terrorist” and things like this aren’t right. Just because some people did something wrong and they are from this religion dosn’t mean everybody from that race are the some. I heard someone tell me this a couple weeks ago the said “ The things Isis does wants you to think that what he is doing is a religion thing but is not. The only thing that he is doing is going against his own people to get what he wants. Money.” I started to think about what that person said, and they are right. Isis is killing his own people so that others out of that religion would fight back to get all the muslims on his side. That literally makes me sick, but the worst part about it is that people are actually falling for that. For example what happened to that muslim lady that got attacked in toronto at 3 pm. Men came up to her, and called her a “terrorist” and told her to “go back to your country,” adding that the men then tore off her hijab, robbed her of her money and cellphone and punched her. This is a great example of stereotypes, not that this is a good thing. Just because some people made some bad choices in the past doesn't mean that everyone from that country or religion, feels the same way. The one thing I don’t understand is what is going on in the world, honestly I think this whole stereotype thing is crazy. The only way I think we could make this stop is if we really get to know the person behind their flesh and skin. Instead of assuming things that may not be true, you should think before you
