Stereotyping the Right Way! The Spinning Top - Artist and Writer Shafali Anand's Thoughts on Creativity, Art, and Life.
-
- Personal Journals
Episode 16 ::
Punjabis are aggressive…
Artists are shabby…
Professors are absent-minded…
Bengalis are nerds…
Women gossip…
Wives…you know...
Local brands? Don’t waste your money!
Dark complexion....ummm...
The list can go on and on and on…
And you know what?
It’s all stereotyping.
Why do we do it?
Actually, we don’t. Our brain does it for us. Unfortunately, not all stereotyping is good, but to tell your brain to stop all stereotyping is not just impossible, it's also inadvisable. Stereotyping is born of generalization - and brain generalizes stuff to learn better - and to simplify future decision-making.
But we could do help our brain reduce the negative stereotyping.
In this episode, we will talk about age, gender, and community stereotypes and establish internal dialog as a way to keep ourselves from negative stereotyping.
