Gender Prejudice And Stereotypes
During my life I've experienced a handful of prejudices and stereotypes for example one stereotype I encounter a lot is that all light skin people are rude and stuck up but when I'm actually kind and down to Earth I just have a natural mean face. Another stereotype I unfortunately get a lot is that I think I'm better than everyone else because I have light skin and long hair which isn't true at all I think that everyone's equal and all the same because we bleed the same blood, walk the same Earth, breath same air and we're all just human so I can't be greater than someone else. I feel that these stereotypes are just stupid and need to forgotten about because it causes your view to change about a person just by the way they look and what their skin color is. …show more content…
In the beginning of my essay I stated that I've also experienced some prejudices like gender, economic and physical. I've experienced gender prejudices in school, with my friends and even at home for example I was out one day with my dad driving for the first time and he told me he didn't expect me to be a perfect driver because it was my first time and because I was

    Racial stereotypes have been and will continue to be a problem until people understand truly what race means to different variations of people in their society. The only way for this to change is to accept that forms of racism and gender stereotypes are still going on in all populations, and to understand the differences that each role of biology, race and ethnicity, hold in society.…

    By evaluating the various structures and its functionality it provides, the function of gender contributes to the stability of our society. Specifically gender roles assign the responsibilities of women and men. In social role theory the gender stereotypes arise from historical occupations such as men being the breadwinner and women being the homemaker. In order to be in harmony with this perspective it is that women and men become active participants of these gender stereotypes in the workforce (Rudman & Phelan, 2010, p. 192). Stereotypes are learnt through the socialization process and influence stereotypical characteristics and roles.
