Stereotypes

In class, we've been referring to stereotypes, but do you believe you are a part of the prejudice? A lot of people say they are not racist or judgmental, but often those are the people making jokes about different races in the quad. Even myself, I am aware that I have judged based off some stereotypes in my time. I believe that everyone has a bias towards their religion and talk it up, but are you aware of it? Every culture would like to believe their superior and it is shown through different traditions and rituals. Everyone wants to be dominant, this influences us to put down other cultures to make ourselves feel better due to insecurity. It seems as if there is no way to stop prejudice, but it is possible to limit it and be aware of what you are saying. If we could keep to ourselves and see from other peoples perspective, the world could be a better place.
