It is sad that we live in a
society that some people have to plan different teaching styles for if they are
teaching black students or if they are teaching white students. In one point of the reading it states that “white
people do not listen”, is that the case that white people do not listen or is
it that the particular people you are speaking to did not listen and the person
you were speaking to happened to be white?
You cannot just mix everyone into one big group and make a statement
like that, especially when teaching students.
It is not that white people do not listen and black students do, or
black students do not listen and Asian students do or any other different
version of groups of people. What it
truly is the problem is that this particular person is not listening. Every person is different in so many
different ways. Some people will listen
and do what you ask them to do, while others could care less about what is said
and do whatever it is that they want to do.
It cannot be said that one race does not listen, that would be a
stereotype, and a bad one at that. If
you make that stereotype then a person of the race you are stereotyping may
come and you can negatively judge them before you know anything about
them. The sad part is the person you are
stereotyping could be the complete opposite of what you think. You must treat each person differently by who
that particular person is because everyone on this world is different and you
cannot let another person negatively impact a completely different person.
this picture shows that you cannot judge a person
until you meet and get to know them.
This link is yet another version of
judging. People could judge this girl
since she is a beautiful model and say she is weak and cannot do things for
herself. Then you see she lifts weights
and does martial arts, showing she is tough.
The stereotype about models are dumb and cannot do things for themselves
does not apply to this girl. This shows
another example of get to know the person before you judge them because every person is different
