Throughout the history of America, we have had a number of immigrant groups come in through three different waves, all bearing different stereotypes. One group, the Germans, were fortunate enough to immigrate to America and we only had positive things to say about them. However, for the rest of the immigrant groups, that was not the case.

In the book ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ written by Harper Lee, the concept of fear is presented and based on stereotypes. Maycomb County lives are mainly based upon stereotypes and fiction stories.

This was their tradition, but maybe tradition is not always a good thing.

INTRO Language, identity, and culture interact to shape representations of Australian identity, which are influenced by place, social, and cultural factors embedded in language use and attitudes.

"The Castle" is a 1997 Australian comedy film directed by Rob Sitch about a working-class family fighting to keep their home from being taken away by the government for an airport expansion.

According to the U.S. Census, 5.6% of the United States’ population is Asian. There are millions of Asian Americans who reside here, they exist. So why does Hollywood and other forms of media pretend like they do not?

People today could say that stereotypes aren't such a factor in life, but they don’t notice what's really around them. The book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, gives a realistic example of how stereotypes rule society. The Outsiders is about two groups of kids, the Socs, and the greasers. The story takes place in the east side of Tulsa Oklahoma, in the 1960’s. The main character Ponyboy is part of the greaser group, with Johnny, Darry, Dally, Sodapop, Two-Bit, and Steve.

“The man who makes an appearance in the business world, the man who creates personal interest, is the man who gets ahead” (33).

Disney, why is it so attractive to children? Parents thought of this question before, but didn’t find any answer.

However when gender equality, oppression, and advertising become an issue and fear over the population over those years, Disney has been hit with various claims of taking the difference between male and female, focus desires, and attracting children with amazing advertisements.
