Reflective Essay 2-Stereotyping, Prejudice and Discrimination

Reflective Essay 2

Stereotyping, Prejudice and Discrimination

It's quit certain that stereotype, Prejudice and Discrimination are an effective thoughts and believe that it's interesting in any society, in this essay I will define each of them and give an example, so I hope to deal with it successfully. 

To start with, stereotype is a belief and faith that may be adopt it about specific person or groups, it based on images that it spread between society members and its well known from media such as internet, TV and phones it can be advantages and disadvantages, here is an example from my experience that many people makes fun and jokes of them, "Sudanese are lazy and Less productive" because of this stereotype many people don’t give jobs for them or give them chance to create.   

Next, the prejudice derives from Prejudge which it's a judgment about someone or group member's individuals, without out all the available facts. Sometimes it's good some times its not, for example the patient didn’t let the black doctor medication him because here colure and this is kind of racism.    

Finally, discrimination is differentiation which it's an action and attitude way of treat people unequally because of their group or believes; in example many companies prefer men to work than women because they think that women make less than men.

To sum up, these thoughts and behavior that we find it society, it's passed from generation to another and it's spread very fast between community members, it can be use for positive and negative ways, I think it’s a way of prejudgment depend in the way of thinking and the view of people, we should respect people thoughts and believe also treat them as the way we want to treat with.

2. define and give an example of Acculturation.

Acculturation: it’s the process of adopting the cultural traits or social patterns of another group.

It's like adopting to the culture that around you, for example if you lived in the UK all your life and decided to move to UAE, for your rest of your life you would soon adopt the culture around you.

such as many indains in UAE who work in many sectors like education,markting and manegments

 

3-Explain how child-raising in different cultures can have an effect on personality.

The children can be effect by anything; for sure they will be effect by the culture around them. If the culture around them always change , for example they born in UAE then they spend a period of their life in USA then moved again to France after all they decided to back to UAE for sure  their thought, behavior and personality will be different from local people whom didn’t move a lot and suffer from culture changing around them, also their life style and their clothes wearing will be different, then maybe they will feel lost and don’t know their original culture, maybe they will fell stress and strange between their friends and don’t know trust in who .

  

4.Explain the difference between a “melting pot” and a “garden salad” related to immigration to a country such as UK, USA, Australia for example.

Immigration to another that means you will find another culture around you, in the past immigration to USA was meaning that you lose your original culture and be like the "Americans" that is the meaning of "melting pot" which it's mixing all the different cultures to gather and forget your own culture. But nowadays if you immigrate to any country you will keep your original culture and learn about the different culture around you and this is the meaning of "garden salad". 

5.How can Multiculturalism have a positive effect on a large company?

Mixing culture can have a positive effect, when you see around your society a lot of culture you will learn from their ideas, thoughts, technology and    different solutions for the problems .All of these will have a positive effect which will give you more experience to develop yourself and your job. After all it will help your country economic to develop and be wealthy.
