Problems like stereotypes, have brought forward more cons than pros to the general society. According to the article by Newsela, entitled, “Why Stereotypes Should Be Avoided”, stereotypes are, “Simply put, stereotypes are characteristics imposed upon groups of people because of their race, nationality and sexual orientation, among others.” When stereotypes are forced onto people, confining them to a certain group, and not allowing all humans to be appreciated as individuals, stereotypes are being less helpful, rather harmful to the general society, as characterizing people can lead to severe consequences. If Martin Luther King Jr. was alive today, he would have influenced these labels to disappear from present

Stereotype Content Model and Asian American Stereotypes The original Stereotype Content Model (SCM) extends existing social psychological theories of stereotype to consider out-groups’ additional information on key dimensions of nationality, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status that leads to differential evaluation of immigrant groups. Immigrant stereotypes have two-dimensional stereotypes of competence and morality (warmth/cold). These stereotypes of the same group work in a variety of intergroup perception and may fluctuate in uniformity over time. SCM has two key components: the cross-dimensional ambivalence and the reflection of societal power in stereotype contents.

Reluctance perpetrates erasure and invisibility. Despite the stagnancy in social perception of Asian Americans, one must also recognize how both narratives bring up consciousness of the issues. Persistent push of political action in the tribunal and in the commission brings about an emergence of ethnic identity. Tenacious and determined, both the Cambodians and the Japanese embraced their pasts to amend the

Social Workers also must be aware of potential transference and countertransference to prevent microaggressions towards our clients (Sue et al, 2007). It is also important to not be colorblind and to not minimize our client’s experiences with racism and validate their feelings. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the difference between minorities groups, such as Latinos. Latinos are very diverse and come from different ethnic backgrounds. Therefore, they have different culture, beliefs, and values.

It is exactly that mindset, she argues, that creates so many boundaries and limits for minorities. She believes that unconscious bias, or explicit prejudice, leads to a detrimental lack of diversity in the workforce. (Abdel-Magied, 1:37) The unconscious bias that we all have, she says, is harmful to society because there are people who are just as qualified to be in certain positions, but are sometimes held back merely because of race, religion, disability, class, or

Therefore, this is the direct result of the negative mentality and the unwillingness to acknowledge that he was not liable guilty, the corrupt justice system would not be resolved. It is apparent that although the reader may think that the human nature would want righteousness or and kindness, it goes to show how people allow themselves to be manipulated and lose their self control so

She shows that cultural transition does not always lead to successful integration, which eventually brings the feeling of otherness among the migrants. This also leads to identity crisis for the migrants. Apart from that, the local community feels insecure of the newcomers for they differ in ethnic values, traditions, and life-style. In short cultural transition, which primarily entails the process of acculturation, keeps the emigrants in a struggling position while the host also feels insecurity unless an agreeable point for coexistence is reached. So wars should be avoided to make this world more

Orientalism refers to a social group who is seen as uncivilized, backward, and outcast people by the dominant culture. In Jenn Fang's discussion, she explains the definition of orientalism and on how today’s society still tends to share orientalist views towards the Asian American people. For instance, the American society views the Asian American people’s fashion as edgy or cool because they dress differently and show no interest in conforming to societies norms. However, this is an orientalist view already since their fashion isn’t a mark of not wanting to conform to societies norms but how their culture dresses. Many Asian American artists have challenged the orientalist assumptions through the use of art.

According to Purdey (2013: 34) the role of prejudice and ethnicity as a caused of anti-Chinese violence in Indonesia had not presented in the study so far. In his research on anti-Chinese violence in Indonesia between the years 1996-1999, Purdey (2013) explained that the anti-Chinese violence in Medan, Solo and Jakarta in May 1998 on the grounds of their ethnicity and local antipathy associated with jealousy and fear of Christianization. Wealth inequalities caused social jealousy, and ethnic Chinese who dominated modern shopping centers cause antagonism among the natives because it had replaced the traditional markets. According to Purdey economic position was not the only reason behind the anti-Chinese sentiment, but religion had also become the focus of the conflict, because in addition to shops and homes of ethnic Chinese, churches and temple-pagoda with ethnic Chinese as the majority of his people also attacked. (Purdey, 2013:

The Chinese may feel like they do not know their business partners and consequently there is no trust. Overall, these two parties do not have a mutual understanding for each

I agree with Trudeau’s ideals of how national relationships should operate. In my view, it’s because some don’t prioritize interaction and being open with each other that our current society is plagued by a discriminative feature: stereotypes. The problem affects both our government and social society. Because of stereotypes, there are certain aspects expected from a person because of their race, beliefs, and/or culture. Stereotypes are widely known and are hard to get rid of since, some choose to be ignorant in learning the various types of people we will come to communicate with; their lack of knowledge would force them to use the information available to them, which are stereotypes.

The problem remain to cause Asian American, especially the second generation, to doubt about their identity and

In my experience, legal immigrant workers work harder and are more productive than native born U.S. citizens when it comes to physical labor. If a U.S.-born citizen gets beat out for a job because they were not as motivated to work as the immigrant that was hired, then I consider it to be the unmotivated worker’s fault that they are unemployed not the immigrants fault. However, I agree that immigration “employment-based visas” should be issued according to “labor market conditions” (Kallick). Furthermore, I disagree with many of the government’s legislative attempts to “defer the deportations” of illegal immigrants (Nakamura). The reasons I disagree with these attempts are all monetary based.
