The stereotyps are a
need for the human mind. The brain has a huge amount of information
to manage each day. The stereotyp is a precious support to classify
informations about things or people. But the stereotyps can also
become a component of our own personality, and that s the key problem
if it becomes a dogm or an intellectual object in our mind.
It s often
emotionnaly related. Negative stereotyps about the Blacks , the Women
or the Disabled can occur when a person has an emotional problem with
the difference. About the disabled, it can be related with his own
perceptions about the disease and the death.
However, such
situation of discrimination can destroy the social life of the
victim !
We can have
arguments in front of the rationality. To cope with the emotions,
we must create .. emotions ! And look for the positive
stereotyps linked with the discriminated group.
Blacks are
physically strong and tough. Women are in general smarter than men ….
And Disabled are seen as brave, even is the negative stereotyp is
considering they don t fit with the normal social life.
So, a clever black
man must show his strongness and toughness before to show his IQ. An
emotional women must show her IQ before to share her views and create
links. A disabled must show his braveness before to fit well in the
social life.
Weaknesses or
Problems never create results ! Stay focus on the positive
things if you want to create results.
People are not
necessary bad. Most often, they are weak or ignorant.You should give up the Bad, or create a wall with him, and be focus to educate the ignorant with this method.
PS : I am the French amputee Quarterback coach with the crutches ... In Far East Russia. I think it s "brave" ;-)
