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.

 It's quit certain that culture diversity which it's mixing nationality and culture in the same society, it’s a really interesting topic has to side advantages and disadvantages, and we will see the two effective side of culture diversity.

To start with culture diversity has some challenges that effect on our life, we face difficulties in communicate with them, because they have different languages that they speak by it, for example in colleges and university we have many teachers are not Arabic and cant speak Arabic,so we face some issues in understanding and learning the subject .Add to that traditions and habits are different from country to another, so it’s a way for spreading bad habits in our society that its available in other society such as in the way of wearing clothes like short dress and short shirts that doesn’t cover a lot of your body, moreover its legal in some country to drink  alcohols and beers, so it will attract many people to try it and then will be addicted to that and it’s a bad and dangerous thing, also it will affect our culture and some of people will forget their original culture. Furthermore culture diversity cause an increase in the population of the country, which has a negative effect such as spreading crimes, diseases and accidents for example two weeks ago in Mosufah Street there was a 200 cars accidents and the main reason was the traffic jam in the morning .

On the other hands there is many benefit and advantages of culture diversity, first its develop our way of educate and learning different languages that lead as to communicate with many different nationality ,for example many students start to learn English to be well educated and communicate with the teachers in university or colleges. Secondly, it's a way to exchange the ideas, thoughts and experience which it give a new way of thinking and solving the problems for example we benefits from many experts in technology whom help us to develop our country in a very modern way. Finally culture diversity leads the country to have a strong tourism sector, because many tourists will travel and visit the country which people all over the world know it, so they would want to discover it , also it will be a great way to develop the country economic so the country will be wealthy and people will live a safe wealthy life.

Culture and personality in Anthropology:

1. Anthropology: the academic study of humanity. It has origins in the humanities, the natural science, behavior, development of humans, and the social science.

2.Movement:it's like many periods that you move by it, to discover national cultures and personality, which represent many mode characters'.

3.Socailization: It’s the origin that children brought up; they find the care, the help that they need it for their behaviors, thoughts and culture values.

4.

Arab country:

In Arab country we find that childrearing depend on our religion, because it have all the plans and the ways to teach your children how to live healthy, open mind and peacefully. Add to that the culture effect in our children thought and behavior.

Europe country:

In West Country child rearing affect on the traditional habits and the type of the religion, there is a lot of company that for child care which help and support them.

5. I'm absolutely agreed, because all humans when they born are the same, they dont  know anything then they starts to discover the world after all it start to affect their thoughts and behaviors. The most affective thing is their culture and the society that they have been born and lived in it because they didn’t know any another society or choose one to live in it.

6.Our culture is made of elder people who lived here before us, so it's depending in their thought, behaviors and their way to fix the problems. All the generation takes this culture and learns the traditional habits until it comes to our generation, so for sure it will effect in our personality. The culture is the basic of our personality, because it's our birth culture.

For example: from our culture it's known that we treat our visitor very well, so generous become part of our personality.
