Title: Goal 4: Stereotypes, images, prejudices


1
Goal 4 Stereotypes, images, prejudices
Behaviors
2
  • Prejudice A negative attitude toward an entire
    category of people, such as a racial or ethnic
    minority.

3
  • Ethnocentrism The tendency to assume that ones
    culture and way of life are superior to all
    others.
  • Judgments are made about others and other
    cultures following your own cultural standards,
    when deciding the concepts of like/dislike
    good/bad.

4
  • Ethnophaulism Ethnic or racial slurs (negative
    statements) including derisive nicknames.

5
Methods to reduce prejudice
  • Education programs in school (K-8)
  • Mass Media Television and Movies which
    demonstrate harmony between diverse groups
  • Intergroup contact
  • Contact hypothesis an interactionist view
    stating that intergroup contact between people of
    equal status in noncompetitive circumstances
    will reduce prejudice.

6
Methods to reduce prejudice
  • Workplace Training Diversity training within
    the work environment developed for that specific
    environment.

7
  • Prejudice- an attitude
  • Discrimination- an action (behavior)

8
Attitudes of prejudice prevail for a lifetime,
however, they can and have changed since the
1950s. Most opinion polls (surveys) have
demonstrated increasing levels of acceptance of
different people and cultures by white people and
Hispanics.
9
  • There is still a greater level of dissatisfaction
    with society as it is by black people as compared
    to the other groups.

10
Perceived discrimination and Social confrontation
  • Intergroup hostility A national survey showed
    that there is perceived prejudice between the
    dominant group (white) and subordinate groups
    (non-white).
  • It also showed perceived prejudices between
    subordinate groups. See page 55 in text.

11
Tokenism
  • Any legislation, admissions policy, hiring
    practice, etc., that demonstrates only minimal
    compliance with the rules, laws, or public
    pressure.
  • This has been used to deflect the government or
    the public from complaining there is unfair or
    unequal treatment occurring.

12
DeJure v. DeFacto segregation
  • DuJure legal, government sponsored laws or
    rules which intentionally segregate against
    subordinate groups of people.
  • Plessey v. Ferguson U.S. Supreme Court decision
    1895. The court ruled that Separate but Equal
    was legally acceptable. This led to parallel
    societies of white and black in the U.S. from
    1985 until 1965.

13
  • DeFacto Segregation that results from
    residential patterns, or other facts of life
    which by design are not intended to separate
    people, but do cause it to happen.
  • This has led to the term Apartied Schools

14
  • Additionally, the practice in schools of tracking
    is another form of DeFacto segregation. This is
    the separation of students by skill level or test
    scores. Students in the lower tracks are not
    able to have access to the full curriculum.
  • In many large, diverse communities, this practice
    has lead to different curriculums for the members
    of the dominant group and the members of the
    subordinate groups.

15

17
  • Hate Crimes Criminal offense committed because
    of a provable bias (hate) of the perpetrator
    toward the victim due to race, religion, ethnic
    background, national origin or sexual orientation.

18
  • Hate groups Date back to the mid- late 19th
    century with the beginning of the Ku Klux Klan.
    Other hate groups have come into existence in the
    U.S. during the last 130 years. They exist in
    all but 5 states???
