Write about a time when you realized that your perception of a person or group was based on stereotypes. How did this realization affect your behavior or beliefs? What steps did you take to change your perceptions?"

 Prompt response : A time that I realized at the way I viewed a certain group of people was shared by stereotypes without me noticing was when I was younger maybe middle school. The stereotype was that Asians always eat rice and they are all very smart. I grew up hearing this so I a,ways went with it. But that’s not the case always because many Asians don’t even like rice and most Asian aren’t as well educated as most. I started to see this as an unfair stereotype . I said to myself that we can’t judge people based off strotyoes.  

Summary: Today we were given a new project. It was a group project. We were put into groups. Our task was a project over the article we read called The dangers of a Single Story. We had to pick a ,live or tv show that depicts the negative stereotypes of a certain culture listed. Once chosen that film we were to create a PowerPoint and showcase that knowledge and understanding. 

Reflection: Todays lesson can help with real world situations. Understanding that the dangers of a single story is actually indeed dangers. We need to listen to people and really hear multiple stories not just one. We need to not label people of stereotypes and judged based on their environment or past background.
