Be socially conscious-Learning about other students around you
Stereotyping affects perceptions among culturally diverse groups in that sometimes these people look down on others of other races and this is wrong. “Collectively, stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination all are biases because treating the individual as an exact representation of the group is never accurate” (Fiske, 2010) People of various cultures tend to view subjects differently in terms of education, gender, class, sexual orientation and religion. As a whole, we each need to be understanding. Part of learning about to other cultures is by embracing it, if a person chooses to shun it; one can never get a true understanding of everything that goes into better understanding people of different backgrounds. “Prejudice entails reacting emotionally to an individual on the basis of one’s feeling about the group as a whole.” (Fiske, 2010, pg 429)
