Animal Stereotypes
You and a friend are in a zoo. You observe a cage with a leopard in it. Suddenly, the Leopard starts talking to you about the weather, and you are now conversing with her when you notice your friend talking to a chimp, about what he had for dinner. “Banana De’Light is what I had, how about you?” He says to your friend. You soon leave the zoo after making friends with all the animals. The End. That doesn’t sound like non-fiction to you, does it? That's because animals can’t talk. Even if you teach it to try to speak all its life, the animal will never learn to actually talk like a human. True they use their own “language” to speak in the wild, these are the reasons that animals will never learn to talk like humans.

    Noble Savage Stereotypes

    the main creator of the two traditionally most pervasive stereotypes: the noble savage and the bloodthirsty savage, or more generally and simplistically, the good and bad Indian” (Kilpatrick 2). The bloodthirsty savage is a vicious, animalistic beast, attacking white men and kidnapping white children. The noble savage is a wise, exotic being unfettered by society and at one with nature. Dan Georgakas acknowledges in his essay They Have Not Spoken that the emergence of the noble savage stereotype was an improvement over the rabid savage character, but only at the “lowest level,” as it tells the audience nothing about real Native American culture (Georgakas 26). These two stereotypes grew from their origins in literature to become iconic in all facets of film, and thus the progression of this imagery was natural and likely inevitable. The spread of these ideas caused the widespread of poor treatment towards Native Americans. Hollywood capitalized on the spreading ideas and made absurd amounts of money.…

    Has anyone ever come in contact with a pit bull and felt fear that you were going to be attacked or mauled? I bet at least some of you have. I to was one of those people who thought I was going to be attacked, But after I owned a few I thought differently. Pit Bulls are banned in some state and counties because the government feels that it is the breed’s aggressive behavior is a threat, instead of the owners who made them that way.

    So an important thing to distinguish when examining ability of non-human primates with communication or language is the actual defined difference between language and communication, and exactly where the definite line of distinction might be separating the two, if there even is a line to be considered when looking at so many different animals. Non-human primates have been studied and observed for both communication and language capabilities and distinction is often necessary to understand what has been discovered and what can be discovered. Many researchers of non-human primates argue that they cannot and do not have the capability of language, while others believe that non-human primates do have language, or can be taught forms of language by humans. Some researchers, that believe that non-human primates do have language or can be taught language, realize that it may not be the same level of complexity as that of human language as a whole but that it is a simple but true language form nonetheless. The reality is the definition of language and communication are what truly can determine if research can show non-human primates having language and or the ability of learning human language when trained, so each research can have potentially a different…

The American Indians have not benefited from any of this.…

    Woman in Aeschylus’s Agamemnon are perceived as untrustworthy and ignorant characters. The role of women in ancient Greek life, was considered to be insignificant compared to that of Greek men. And yet, in tragedies, women were often written as major characters, revealing insights on how women were treated and thought of in society. Many well-known Greek plays contain several well-written, complex, female characters. Each female character takes upon herself, the role of villain, the role of victim, and the role of heroine. Drama and theatre in the ancient Greek world expresses the communities’ concerns in regards to their ambitions, fears, hope and their deepest sympathy. In Greek drama, playwrights often included pivotal female roles, despite the fact that the cast was strictly male. The role of women in ancient Greek life is deemed irrelevant compared to that of Greek men, however, in tragedies, women are often written as major characters, revealing important insights on the perceptions and treatment of women in society. For a woman to possess qualities such as leadership and strength is not typical, in fact it is seen as masculine and un-ladylike. Many Greek plays contain several complex female characters; Aeschylus is a playwright whom incorporates a very complex female character, Clytemnestra in his play Agamemnon. Although Clytemnestra is one of the most recognizable and noted female villains due to her involvement in the murder of her husband and his concubine, one can argue that her actions are justifiable. Whether her vengeful actions are triggered by the death of her daughter Iphigenia, her love for Aegisthus or the jealousy of her husband’s mistress Cassandra, either is motive enough to make her turn to evil. There is a quote made by the chorus that suggest evidence that women are incompetent and over emotional for leadership,…

    When the first guy was talking on the phone, he was talking normal with girl in a respectful manner. Normal as in how he would talk on his daily life. But when the second guy showed up, he changed his tone and his dialect. I think he did that because he wanted to show that he is a man and that he is a “thug” because he is black. Same thing happened with the other guy, when he they were around each other, he changed his tones to and dialect to sound “black” and the walked away he started to talk like how he usually would. They changed their ways because the society created this stereotype that all black men are loud, rude and talk in deep voice. Also they want to look and act like thugs. So when they were around each other they did not want…

    Growing up in the number one most diverse school in Michigan, I have always had to adapt to the contrasting characteristics of my peers. I see the girl with the name brand outfit, confident, and surrounded by the most of people. I see the shy boy who sits in the corner alone.

However, these differences were not so easy to accept when I was younger.…

    Many people would say that the ABC series Once Upon a Time is a lousy show, is unrealistic, and does not make sense or follow a good storyline; but over its first six seasons, Once Upon A Time has stolen my heart time and time again for many reasons. These writers and the creators of this show Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have re-created many people's favorite scenes from their favorite movies like Prince Charming finding snow white and Waking her up with true love's kiss, or beauty and the beast dancing together, and they brought so many favorite and new characters to the show unlike anything before.The writers changed classical fairy tale stereotypes, they give the villains a chance at happy endings, and a deeper backstory than usual,…

    It's impossible not to notice, how our modern pop culture's stereotypes influence how women supposedly should look after giving birth. It all comes down to a not-so-realistic picture, an expectation that many believe is unattainable and simply impossible to achieve with anything conventional... Indeed, many medical experts say, that burning calories with a breastfeeding will not burn all the calories you consume, just as well as too much fitness and other physical activities immediately after giving the birth will not give you a picture perfect either. With the daily (even hourly) ravage of Instagram photos by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Gisele Bündchen of our pop-culture, it's hard to avoid that kind of pressure. Eventually women feel the need to lose weight and tighten up just weeks after welcoming their baby. Dr. Diana Zuckerberg, president of the National Research Center for…

    Racial prejudice was defined by Allport , one of the first researchers in psychology to investigate the issue, as "an aversive or hostile attitude towards a person who belongs to a group, simply because he or she belongs to that group, and is therefore presumed to have the objectionable qualities ascribed to that group. It is an antipathy based on a faulty and inflexible generalization" (Allport, 1954).…

    In today's world, there is so much racism and violence from all races especially in the South. Many people have stereotypes about others, which has caused them to become bitter and judgemental about others because of their skin color or their nationaliity. These stereotypes can make it easier for some races to have a good job and a good life, but for others it may be difficult. Neighbohoods are segregated because of stereotypes and some races don't have the social privileges that others do, which is not morally correct. Years and years ago racism wasn't only just existing but it was encouraged, and people didn't generally interact with other races or go to neighborhoods wher other races resided unless it was completely necessary.
