Discrimination

Stereotype is existing in every where and each one have his own idea about some one else. I think that many people have a bad idea about the Asia workers for example they said that they are not clean and always has a bad smell. And we study about the 6 isms which is Racism, Sexism, Ageism, Ableism, Classism and Religious Bigotry. First of all racism is discrimination against people based on the social construction of race. second one sexism is prejudice and /or discrimination based on gender for example maybe they will make a woman comes in front of you in a line just because she is a woman. Finally, we learnt from class a lot of thing and we know how to make an video and how to present the document in front of class.

It helps shape people’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, cultural values and norms to fit into and function as productive members in the surrounding human society. The study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.”

- Depending on how they are raised and treated they will face different futures.

- Of course there is a relation of culture to personality. Due to the way we were raised, i hate losing or giving up. That applies to other cultures as well. Such as Japan, always striving to be the best in technology due to the way they grew up.
