differently
[Music]

[Music]
[Music]
in the world we live a lot of issues has
evolved
that sometimes we don't expect to be
something more
there are 7.7 billion people across
195 countries and every race
has their own belief systems religion
culture and tradition people tend to
judge others easily
based on their physical appearance which
is not
a valuable reason since each individual
is a unique mix of their own these are
the reasons
why appreciating diversity is very

people see muslims as terrorists based
on their way of clothing
next some people has negative attitude
towards the other sex

which of them is a stereotype
prejudice and discrimination
according to cardwell 1996
stereotypes are over generalized belief
about a particular group or class of
people
there are positive and negative examples
of stereotypes
let's start with a positive one a female
student
named maria who won the research
congress
would be stereotyped as very
hard-working
and intelligent or matadino student
another
we filipinos has been known for
our hospitality however it's very
undeniable that stereotyping are drawn
from negative generalizations like
equating our muslim countrymen as
terrorists
and viewing farmers or blue-collar
workers
as lazy and less educated
it's pretty obvious that stereotyping
reflects
our expectations and beliefs and is
largely
based on the social circle we belong to
hence a stereotype can be categorized as
explicit
meaning the person is aware that they
have those
thoughts towards a group of people but
they
can choose not to turn their stereotypes
into actions another category is
implicit wherein a person
doesn't know if they have those
stereotypes since it lies
in their subconscious and they have no
control of it
so it may manifest into actions or
behavior
so that's all about stereotypes
we need to keep in mind that the
prejudice relates to our feelings
and attitudes about the person or group
of people
well this third type is a thought about
a person
or a group of people the most common
example of prejudice are

than men and are often relegated to be
solely responsible
for child and household chores
men on the other hand are discriminated
in household responsibilities
such that they are perceived as less
monthly
when they do their share of house chores
or when they
become stay at home husband
prejudice and discrimination is a really
sensitive
issue for many people since it can be
traced to our history
culture traditions and relations
however with the advanced technology we
now live in the world that seems to have
no borders
it is important to create a society to
respect the uniqueness
of every human being and upholds
everyone's dignities
and rights people have the freedom to
express their opinions
in the article one of the universal
declaration of human rights
states that all human beings
are born free and equal

individual has an equal opportunity
to make the most of their lives dreams
