When I travel to different countries, they act a little rude, but the people in the neighborhood I live in are the nicest.  ]]> 2017-10-02 17:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193133191 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193137280 Toronto to the rest of the world is more commonly known as "That place Drake always talks about." As much as I like Drake, there is more to this city than one guy. So I disagree with the stereotype that Toronto is just the place where Drake is from.]]> 2017-10-02 17:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193137280 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193137872 Toronto is very prideful when it comes to their sport teams. The Raptors is an example of a the that have be doing well in the last couple of years so everybody in the city is sporting their merch and showing their support for their team. The stereotype that Toronto is prideful is a good stereotype in my opinion and I fully agree with it.]]> 2017-10-02 17:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193137872 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193139616 Sri Lankan food doesn't have many stereotypes rather than it being very spicy, and it is not wrong. Sri Lankan food though is pretty underrated so it is not talked about much. ]]> 2017-10-02 17:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193139616 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193140436 People picture most South Asian cultures as very religious. The picture below is one of a big temple. It is very big because so many people go their that they run out of room. This fact shows that many people in my culture are religious. Though I am not, many people around me in my family are religious and so this stereotype is true.]]> 2017-10-02 18:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193140436 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193140959 There is a (kinda funny) stereotype in many forms of media like film and TV that all tech support people are Indian. From my experiences, this isn't true as I have never come across an Indian tech support person, but there are a lot of Indian people that have an interest in technology and engineering.  ]]> 2017-10-02 18:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193140959 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193142893 Another popular stereotype is that a lot of South Asians are nerds and geeks. This is not true as well. This stereotype was birthed from the fact that some Asian parents are more strict when it comes to academics. Not all parents are like this I guess that means not all South Asians are nerds]]> 2017-10-02 18:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/193142893 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195836908 Phones are most definitely one of the things that media gets rights as phones literally take over our lives. It is a fast way to get in contact with friends and family, social media is a very addictive, and it is a fast way of gaining entertainment. I agree with the media whenever they talk about phones. ]]> 2017-10-10 23:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195836908 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195837230 Gossip is one of those things you just can resist, and it is especially common in high school. My life is surround by gossip whether its between my friends or within my family. Even though I try my hardest not to get involved with it, the movies Mean Girls isn't lying when it comes to high school antics.]]> 2017-10-10 23:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195837230 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195837522 The media shows teenagers to be rebellious and try to move away from the normal. I chose this picture because I see it as a girl who is showing the world what they want to see of her, vs what she wants to show the world (which is her rebellious side). I don't think I am rebellious at all when it comes to my fashion, personality, or anything. So I can't relate much to the girl in the picture]]> 2017-10-10 23:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195837522 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195839952 Some people expect men to be very muscular because it is more appealing to the eye. Being buff represents a person being a protective and strong for the partner which I guess is a good stereotype. Not all men are like that though so the stereotype is false.]]> 2017-10-10 23:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195839952 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195840250 Sports is one of those things that are mainly masculine because it involves physical activities and being active in general. Most peoples picture of the "perfect man" is one that has no physical obstacles and that just shouldn't be true. I can't relate to this because I don't have much physical abilities when it comes sports.  ]]> 2017-10-10 23:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195840250 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195840533 One thing that represents masculinity is being the "cool bad boy." I'm not sure why this is a stereotype because most men don't really show this personality type. I am not a fan of this stereotype because being the "bad boy" doesn't even improve your health and well being like the other 2 above.]]> 2017-10-10 23:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195840533 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195842197 2017-10-10 23:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195842197 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195842381 Maple syrup is one of the biggest stereotypes in Canada as (according to everyone else), we put it on everything.

They feel they are not mature enough to do what they want (young), not smart enough to pass their courses (dumb), and can't afford to buy anything without the parents help (broke). I have felt all three of these things at some point so I can 100% relate to what Khalid (the artist) is saying.]]> 2017-10-11 00:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195843810 keethen_jayarajan https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195846923 This popular advertisement for Old Spice depicts the "perfect man" in a more exaggerated way. If you take out all the hyperbole, you still have, what most people think is, the perfect man. He is very fit, handsome, and has a deep voice. This is an example of media influencing your idea of a man.]]> 2017-10-11 00:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/keethen_jayarajan/a0z82bzqijt4/wish/195846923
