Today you were given a handout called "Fear no differences" we read through the article and discussed the meaningins of prejudice & stereotypes.
A stereotype is defined as "a popular belief about specific social groups or types of individuals. Stereotypes are standardized and simplified conceptions of groups based on some prior assumptions."
We also talked about how stereotypes can be negative and positive but most often seem to be negative conceptions.
We worked on an activity where we looked through magazines to look for media representations of stereotyped and nonstereotyped images.
