The society that we live in says yes. I think back to Thanksgiving Break two years ago. I was volunteering at Metropolitan Ministries with a volunteer group that I was a part of.

Lady and Man Stereotyping “The raven himself is hoarse‚” Lady Macbeth says‚ speaking of the atrocious act of murder she must commit. Lady Macbeth cannot simply go through with the act in her feminine state‚ so she calls to the spirits to make her more like a man‚ the seemingly more malicious sex. Through his own words‚ Shakespeare is able to tell a story from not only his point of view‚ but the view of his era.

Our FOA was over the topic of Muslim stereotyping. Many people assume Muslims are more likely to be stereotyped as a terrorist or as a danger or threat in public situations.

Although the plot was slightly exaggerated to express the main idea‚ the occurrence of stereotyping such as this is very common in real world scenarios

Media continues to single out men and women and exaggerate our ‘typical’ roles in order to sell a product. You never see a man in a cleaning supply commercial…do you?
