Stereotypes??!

I was reading the blog entry of another student, and I kind of reconsidered my situation.
It’s just such a wired feeling.
In my Religion classes, I learn that I need a Bible to see a goal in my life.
In my English lessons, I learn that I’m full of stereotypes.
I learn, that I’m thinking, that my Asian schoolmates are workaholic lunatics.

So in all consequence, am I being stereotyped myself without noticing it?
In school I’m not autonomous, not self confident and not self-defining at all.
I’m thought what to think.
(Is my cosmopolitanism destroyed by the ungovernable drumming of stereotypes into me?)

Can a stereotype exist without another?
The answer has to be: ‘No.’.
A stereotype is a prevailing prejudice. Prevailing equals an overwhelming majority. But if there is a majority there is a minority, too.
And that’s my point: a stereotype is defining itself, through the majority of people AND another stereotype.
My English Teacher says, that
[…] that stereotypes don't necessarily have to be bad.
And 75% of the class is copying, without thinking about it.
In 15 years they’ll eventually meet a Japanese person and what will come to their mind?

My standpoint has to be:

Stereotypes are the dogmatic scourge of each and every one of us.

Let’s just evolve, without selfmade borders in our head!!!

Hmm again a post without a homework;
next time... I promise!

Dummy

Hmm, so this is my first posting, just want it to look fuller here.
However, let's just start right away:



Don't know if it fits in here, but actually, who cares?!?
I think they're playing great with the stereotypes Americans (of course other people, too ) have in mind.

I'm out,
PEACE :)
