- past events shape peoples mentality and reaction towards someone that doesn't fit under the norms ]]> 2019-04-23 00:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/breverman/hgdf27wney8v/wish/353208481 Nefertiti https://padlet.com/breverman/hgdf27wney8v/wish/353208484 - Due to their background
- Their abilities, talent, strengths and weaknesses
- They may not have the same values as opposed to others and those ideas may contradict to the population (with the same beliefs)]]> 2019-04-23 00:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/breverman/hgdf27wney8v/wish/353208484 May https://padlet.com/breverman/hgdf27wney8v/wish/353208511 It often falls under the issue of stereotypes that have been accumulated over a long period of time on race and gender. Who a person is or what her/his identity is is often (most of the time!) personal and unique to her/himself. Therefore, if it ever, ever!, falls out of line of the preexisting stereotypes/social norms/gender roles, they are hard to be accepted by society. 

We have to understand that all these preexisting limitations that define a person is changeable and is still changing. Everyone is different. We need to encourage people to speak out and break these "norms".

does not fit the social norms (expectations)
-When people don't follow the cultural expectations of the society


-People find different uncomfortable because it doesn't follow what they were taught/ believe. Like seeing a large animal you never seen before. A lot of people would be afraid of the creature.
