  Stereotypes: A Restorative Journey

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  

   

   

   

   

   

  Create a mini speech to an audience of those who did or would stereotype you in the same way as well as those who did not. Start with a short explanation of the origin of the stereotype experience you had and how you dealt with it at the time. Next, move into how it made you feel and why you hope the audience changes the way they view stereotypes. Here are some questions to consider:

  · What details of your experience are most important to help your audience see the problem in their assumptions?

  · How might your reaction to the stereotype be the key to inspiring others who are targeted?

  Stereotype in Art

  Click on the picture icon to the right and insert images of art (any visual representation) that reflects stereotype in some form. This can be obvious stereotype, or it can be subtle–maybe something only you see within the image. Click on the word “Text” and describe the stereotype you see. Explain why you think some people might miss or ignore the stereotype along with its impact on American culture. If necessary, reference the image on the References page.

  Address the following questions:

   

  1. Was the stereotype obvious to the audience in order to inspire an end to that stereotype or was it underlying and one many modern culture overlooks or ignores?

  2. Did the stereotype set a tone or create tension within the song or performance? How might this educate the viewer on the power of stereotype?

  3. What feelings or emotions did the song or performance bring to you directly? Did it change your perspective of the song or of the stereotype?
