Stereotypes Of Religion
Since my childhood, numerous ignominies were heaped on me because of my religious background. Being a Muslim, I have been given different crockery to eat and drink in few of the Hindu households.They considered me as polluting; I have been rendered as a beef-eater, constantly stereotyped as belonging to a religion of terrorism. Today religion is valued more than human life. The vicious blame game politics is intensified today where even expressing dissent is rendered as anti-national by those who claim to be nationalists and carry out their bloodshed politics in the name of God. They are the ones who have the least knowledge about religion. They fail to comprehend that humanity is the religion one should follow. I ponder over the question that

    We all have encountered some type of stereotype or prejudices. A stereotype that I had to face was age prejudice by me being so young sometimes people don't set the high expectations for you that other people would at an older age because they expect for you to make mistakes. At times my mindset isn't where most kids are at my age. I skipped pre k and I am supposed to be in the 8th grade. When I tell people my age they be like " OMG you are young to be the grade that you are in" this is a perfect example of what I am stating that people sometimes think that you have to be average and can't go over and beyond your years.…

    ions taken and built a wall of regulations that governed what could and could not be shown on screen, ostracizing homosexuals from the limelight (Bynum). Directors in the 1930s decided to disregard the production code and shock the audience with violence, gender nonconformity, and scenes of passion in order to increase revenue. Notably, The Sign of the Cross, released in 1932, was a biblical epic that stunned the audience with the king’s implied relationship with a slave boy, erotic dancing between two women, and frequent nudity (Presley & Viera). As a result of World War II, directors made homosexuals German effigies- beating them with sinister, perverse stereotypes, making it easier for the audience to hate gays and lesbians when associated…

    Everyone has their own opinions on what beauty consists of. It is in cliché expression “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” This means beauty can come from within a person’s soul or from the outside of looking at woman’s body. As it just happened, saying the word “beauty” on most occasions comes hand in hand with the word woman. In the story “A Woman’s Beauty: Put – Down or Power Source” by Susan Sontag. Sontag states; “To be called beautiful is thought to name something essential to women’s character and concerns. (In contrast to men whose essence is to be strong or effective, or competent.)” (Sontag.488.1) The word beautiful may not seem synonymous with men in 2015 but handsome is, as the word “handsome” feels more masculine.…

    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…

    America is a country with cultural diversity and different ethnics; therefore, there must be serious conflicts due to differences in cultures. In other words, these differences and conflicts have gradually created stereotypes within people, especially within Americans who consider themselves superiority and people from Asia, Mexico, Africa, etc. who are considered as inferiority. These have been perpetuated in popular culture including film, TV, advertising, music, and consumer products. “Film and television have been notorious in disseminating images of racial minorities which establish for audiences what these groups look like, how they behave, and, in essence, “who they are.”” (qtd. in Signs of Life in the USA 542). In fact, Americans are…
