A stereotype is an assumption made about a group or specific demographic of people and they differ from reality because they're only based off assumption and not off consisted experiences with the demographic.

A stereotype is a predetermined idea that someone may have about a different type of person. However, everyone is different and these stereotypes are gross generalizations.

With my book I hope to learn more about how the main character is viewed by the people around her and how that makes her feel but also how it may inspire her to make a change for her culture/religion. (A Very Large Expanse of Sea)

A stereotype is a belief or an image of a group of people such as age, race, gender, and religion. How it differs from reality as people are all different and is not consistent with all people of said groups.

Privliega plays due to how they can't relate because they are rich and they are surrounded by people that are the "same" as them. Privilege people can help by using their influence to spread awareness.

Stereotypes become a sort of second nature for many, especially if they're surrounded by those who grew up on those sort of values, it can potentially emphasize the divide in our society by promoting and normalizing unfair bias in generations to come

It can be created by setting aside our biases and taught through the actual lenses of the demographic group. Books and experiences help a lot to see how these stereotypes affect people and their everyday lives. People can spread awareness through advocating against these stereotypes and enlighten the public of the true viewing of the groups.

Media can play a role in enforcing or encouraging stereotypes as the algorithm in platforms such as TikTok and Instagram are based off what the viewer enjoys, preventing them from seeing different perspectives. This then plays a role since it can sacrifice credibility for viewer enjoyment.

A way media battles stereotypes is through exposing the audience to different perspectives such as war journalists who document everything and publish factual articles.

Schools and communities could be more inclusive by teaching diversity and learning how to leave our differences behind us and become more open.

I hope to learn about how Millie, our protagonist, handles the challenges that arise with being an immigrant. I hope that it helps me gain perspective over what happens to those in a more central position between the problems over immigration.

In school, diversity should be taught as well as the acceptance of people and leaving stereotypical thoughts behind us.

It can help broaden the student's beliefs through research and reach a lack of bias when given texts or examples of stereotypes and why they are not correct. Having a new perspective through these teachings creates a more diverse and open-minded population.

I hope to learn about another perspective of immigration to be able to resonate and educate myself on the struggles the protagonist might face and how she specifically handles them

I want to learn how to over come discrimination or how to deal with it and also get to see different perspectives of discrimination that goes on in Millies life.

I don't hope to learn much, I read to read. I just hope this book is interesting.

People who think they have more privilege are usually surrounded by people who are "like" them. People who are privileged can use this to their advantage by spreading awareness.

I hope to learn how stereotypes contribute to the main plot of the story. It is an ongoing problem in society and especially during these times, so I hope it will have a very deep connection to the current world (Where I Belong)

Stereotypes can contribute to prejudice in society by re-enforcing harmful ideas about certain demographics. This can result in people being less open, creating division.

Educating people and exposing them to different perspectives can help fight against stereotypes by showing that what they believe in may be incorrect. This will then lead to people believing less and less in stereotypes.

I hope to learn more about how stereotypes can affect the minorities they are made about.

I hope to learn more about my book and what it has to offer about the lessons of society, and I hope to learn more about the main character and his struggles. I also hope to learn more on how to analyze a book and reading in general, and how to work better in a group.

Media can play a role in enforcing/encouraging stereotypes by portraying people and groups in specific ways. For example in superhero films such as superman, Lex luthor thinks hes doing the right think by killing superman but since they movie is portrayed in supermans POV it seems like lex luthors is the bad person since we didnt get his entire background.

Something I hope to learn from the literature circle books is how justyce handles the discrimination he faces throughout the book.

Those with better and more guaranteed rights are shielded from seeing the perspective of those below them. Meanwhile the people at the bottom can only look up. In the case of Racism, many white people don't see the perspective of those more unfortunate at all, and are safe to assume everyone lives the way they do, which leads to biases. However those who do understand the struggles of the less fortunate, they can use their power to convince others that there is a problem, and they will be able to stop or hinder the problem more effectively.

The media plays a role by enforcing or encouraging stereotypes by portraying different groups in a certain manner. Social platforms such as tiktok, instagram, and twitter as well as news platforms like cnn and abc news can have bias in them and show stereotypes to certain groups.

# data[].attributes.body
Since the more fortunate are shielded from seeing the less fortunate's POV, they may build biasses over time which do not reflect the actual situation of the less fortunate. For example, the homeless are often stereotyped as wasting their money on beer or gambling. And while those people do exist, the majority of homeless weren't there because of alcohol. And as such people who need financial aid more than anyone else are going to be less likely to get that help because the people that can help them believe they deserve it.

Stereotypes contributes to prejudice and discrimination in society as it can paint harmful pictures of certain groups and encourage discrimination or fear into these.

By teaching kids about these stereotypes and biases that can form, we can help to keep these kids better informed about them and they can avoid them. Especially when the parents of those children can help reinforce actual DEI (not to be confused with the organisation of the same name), racism could be eliminated entirely in that community within a single generation.

People who are already biased are now given a platform to spread their biases to otherwise normal people. And unbiased people may not have the time to fully represent a race without compromising their 6 second Vine or 15 second Tiktok.

I wish to better understand the reality of things like Police Brutality and how damaging ignorance can be on certain subjects on a deeper level.

It helps people, especially kids, learn that there is no such thing as the same person and that every person is different, It expands peoples knowledge of different backgrounds and roots and helps fight against stereotypes.
