Stereotypes can shape our perceptions and how we are viewed in society. Based on your research, conducted online, identify the differences between stereotypes, identity, and personality—are they all the same? Explain your findings. Using the reading, “Don’t Let Stereotypes Warp Your Judgement,” explain what are stereotypes and how they hurt society. Identify how stereotyping played a role in both Fish Cheeks and The Lawsuit—do you think the character’s personalities (in both stories) helped navigate stereotypical situations? How?
For reference, here are the readings:
• Amy Tan Fish Cheeks;
• Don’t Let Stereotypes Warp Your Judgement
• Naguib Mahfouz The Lawsuit
