Recurring stereotypes in the Simpsons by Schnate https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet A project where i look at how the Simpsons uses stereotypes to develop there characters. I choose this because it is my all time favorite show and has multiple stereotypes in it. en-us 2018-11-02 19:22:37 UTC 2018-11-05 19:50:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Prizecup.png Stereotype one nationality bigbrainsrules https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299966425 In the Simpsons the character Apu and his wife Manjula has a very stereotypical Indian accent, owns a convenience store and has lots of kids along with a mole right in the middle of Majulas head. All of these are examples of nationality (Indian) stereotypes this can be harmful because people who have never meant Indian will probably think this is how they behave and speak]]> 2018-11-02 19:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299966425 Stereotype two career bigbrainsrules https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299971071  The character of Moe is built off of this stereotype that a 
 "typical" bartender is depressed, lonely, poor,  and suicidal. This can be harmful because people will not want to go into bars so no lonely bartender will try to make friends with them causing them to lose money for there bar

He is also a "typical" Male that is stupid likes violence and is an alcoholic. These stereotypes about males affect young boys that do not have farther figures so they would think this is how all adult males behave]]> 2018-11-02 20:16:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299979685 Stereotype Four AGE bigbrainsrules https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299983409 All the old people in the Simpsons are poor and defenseless. Most of them live in a retirement home and rely on nurses for everything and can not do anything by themselves. This can be harmful to people in real life that are younger because they would be disipointed for what is coming.]]> 2018-11-02 20:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299983409 Broken stereotype one age bigbrainsrules https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299984758 There is a stereotype that the older sibling is always smarter then the younger but Lisa is way smarter then Bart. This can be helpful to younger siblings that get made fun of from there older siblings]]> 2018-11-02 20:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299984758 Broken stereotype two Hair colour bigbrainsrules https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299985574 In the Simpsons Lisa is a blonde and is VERY INTELLIGENT. But she gets made fun of at a competition because she is blonde so she dies here hair brown so people do not make fun of her anymore. This can be helpful by when a person with blonde hair sees this there confidence level with go higher thanks to Lisa. ]]> 2018-11-02 20:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299985574 My opinion bigbrainsrules https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299986643 These stereotypes in the Simpsons has not really changed my opinion and has not influenced my beliefs on these stereotypes. I already thought all Indians talked like Apu but i know the rest were not fully accurate. I will still watch and love the Simpsons]]> 2018-11-02 20:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bigbrainsrules/05natespadlet/wish/299986643
