My Stereotypes
Depending on who you ask, you will get different comments and views on who I am and what I am like. I believe I, as many do, have different personalities for different situations. Obviously, when I am in a place that I feel comfortable, for example, at school or with a group of friends, I will be my truest self. Whereas in less familiar scenarios, I tend to be a little less talkative and a bit more timid. This isn’t to say that I am a reserved person, only to signify that I am not as open in these said situations. I would consider myself a dynamic person with a multitude of traits. There is no set stereotype to describe my persona or style and that may have to do because I have underwent a wide range of experiences that molded me to be the …show more content…
People would definitely consider me stubborn and strong-minded. Since I was a little girl I have been marked as the “stubborn one” because I am extremely reluctant to say or do things that I do not believe is fit for a scenario. Because of this stubbornness, I am also known for being argumentative. Whether you ask my family or my friends, you will hear this term used almost instantly. As I said, I stand up for what I believe in, and it has sometimes gotten me in a predicament but I am always respectful when I get into debates. I am very passionate about what I believe in and when I debate with others, it enthralls me. Debating require a lot of thought and effort and I am more than willing to do because that is who I …show more content…
During my freshman year, I wore all black, didn’t talk to many people, and I kept to myself unless someone spoke to me. Since I had never lived in a small town, I had no experience in talking to small-town folks. It sounds ridiculous, but the stereotypes I was given before I left my old school led me to believe that my time in this town would be painfully awkward and lonesome. As I went into my sophomore year, I became more comfortable with the people around me and I spoke more and more. At the end of my sophomore year, I had made a lot more friends than I started off with. By the time I started junior I had become the outgoing person I claim to be now. I wasn’t afraid to talk to people anymore and it was a great time for me. Now, I have plenty of people to talk to and people come up to me in the hallways and speak to me. I am now a senior and I, metaphorically speaking, have transitioned into the beautiful butterfly. I don’t really have anything I truly want to change about myself. I will be heading off to college soon and I am fairly comfortable enough with who I am to be assured that I will be

    The Way We See Me

    • 720 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The way I see myself definitely varies from one degree to another. For instance, I am not at all tactful as I am imaginative. This is another reason why I perceive myself as being slightly quiet. I chose these answers because I know that I like to think a lot to myself and am more observant of others around me than I am of myself. Since I am rather quiet, I haven’t really practiced my communication skills as much as I’d like and thus why I am not very tactful. On a more positive note, I do see myself as extremely imaginative and friendly. I chose to rank myself high on these two because I always try to treat others the way I would want to be treated and was always told that I was extremely curious, imaginative, and artistic as a child. I believe I still am.…

    I am very outgoing and sometimes consider myself to be very talkative, even when people tell me to be quiet I cannot help it. That is just the type of person I am. I like to be heard even if I am the only person listening to myself my brain is always running and developing new thoughts and ideas to discuss with other people. Whenever I am with my friends they are constantly telling me to be quiet because I never stop talking I just do not like it to be quiet. I feel that I am the life of the party I also do this at work with my co-workers I just like to talk I feel I have a mouth to express myself and be heard. Openness to experience I feel is another that describes me well because along with always thinking and talking I an very curious to know a little about everything. I feel that I can learn about different things forever, and that I can always learn how to do something I already know a different more efficient way. Curiosity never hurt anyone I believe the world is full of many mysteries and we must unlock and discover them to learn what they are. I also find myself building thing without the instructions not because I do not need them, but because I am curious to see if I can create what I am building without them. Even if I do not know something on a subject I will sometimes act as if I do because I want to see how gullible people are, and I also know many facts about everything so it is easy to believe me. Using agreeableness I would consider myself to be ruthless and soft-hearted why, because I tend to be easygoing and am kind to people I know, but if I do not know you I am not going to be nice to you. Do not get me wrong though even with people I know I can turn on if they give me a good cause to snap on them. People who hitch for rides I…

    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…

    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. Today racism…
