ASSIGNMENT 5

2. Introduction
Negative stereotypes of different nationality and cultures exists trying to understand
why they do stems from what a person is exposed to culturally. Most negative stereotypes comes from ignorance and
lack of knowledge of the culture they are addressing and the people that are being targeted. Schools are working hard
to diversify their students understanding and acceptance of each other by initiating programs and educating them by
studying and exposing them to different cultures. Through education there is hope to approach this issue with early
learning and appreciation of the diversity that the world and this country has to offer. Schools are more concern with
the need to educate in the area of Sensitivity and Diversity that programs are being addressed using local and out side
resources to teach the tolerances that is needed for education of proper skills and tools in order to teach and train
students as well as parents. Community leaders of different ethnicity and background are invite to hold seminars and
speak to students regarding experience in dealing with negative stereotypes. This training process will attempt to
address some of the negative stereotypes and replace positive understanding of multi-cultural sensitivity & diversity.

12. Conclusion
After you have done the scenarios 1- thru 9 it should be clear to you that we just don't know
everything about everyone. No one person is the same and we all deserve to live our lives
free from negative stereotypes and discrimination. The real purpose for negative comments
is to cause a person to hurt and bring harm by prejudice judgment that is really unfair. We as
a people can't help what some one else of the same cultural has done it not the fault of them
all. As a people we don't want to participate in any action that would be negative and
damaging to any one. The effect of negative stereotyping can be harmful and even deadly
to the one being judge. We as Americans are a diverse nation of people and any one person
that can't comprehend that should really seek professional counselling because people exists
and we can't ignore or mistreat someone based on wrongful negatives stereotypes.
