           Here is a image which shows that there are so many negative words on a black people's face. What's more, he seems so un-present and upset. I even couldn't find a little hope on his face. It's true that there is a racial stereotype in the whole society that black people are poor and slaves and violent, but there is no sense that we have the right to identity that every simple black people is poor or a slave or violent. It's too general and too unfair for black people to be treated by other racial people in this way! I completely disagree that we have the right to do that and we have to change to stereotype as soon as possible if we can! Nobody wants to be treated by other people like this way, so it's time to change the racial stereotype! I hope more and more people can realize that everyone is totally same and we have to treat everyone fairly!

gender stereotypes of the scientists

                                         


  Gender Stereotype between the Scientists
   
               This picture shows an interesting phenomenon. The male scientist and the female scientist are discussing the lab report,but they are thinking different things.The male scientist seems really focused,he is thinking all about the experiment. Meanwhile, the things do not happen the same way in the female scientist's mind , she is not confident enough and imaging the older male scientist laugh at her. She has a stereotype in her mind. Nowadays, still a part of people believe that man is doing better in natural science subject. It is not correct, the gender stereotype should not exist any more.As a matter of fact, woman can also proficient in science. Marie Curie is a good example, she discovered the radioactive element radium. And it brought the profound influence in scientific community. To sum up, all female can break though the restraint , study science as much as we can!

Gender stereotypes----Maiden in Armour


                       The Comprehension of Maiden in Armor
           

           Mulan is a famous character from Chinese folktale.We all know about her in my home country. In my Junior high school,I learnt a poem about her, to praise her for her courage. She disguises as a male soldier to take her father's place to join the army. According the description of the Ballad of Mulan, she fought with other guys and hided her gender. Because at that time in China, there had strong gender stereotypes that women can not fight in the battle,and all men must be sent into exile. In Southern and Northern Dynasties,people thought that the only things women can do is weaving. But they didn't know that there also existed heroine like Mulan, break through the feudal system ,gender stereotypes and all restraint.

Gender Stereotype


   This cartoon provides a common stereotype of gender, but presenting in an ironic way . In the past, woman used to be considered as housekeeper. From the picture we can see that the man is doing several houseworks simultaneously. He is looking after the baby, walking the dog and cooking the meal. In contrast, the woman is listening music and enjoy the cocktail.  This picture shows us the situation woman used to face in the past. But the main character becomes man in the cartoon .Nowadays some women can be dominant in the family. They take the responsibility of earning money and no longer be housewives people used to think of. The distribution of family roles becomes more balanced.
