Reflections

This information has helped me learn as a researcher, by showing me what different races think about stereotypes and what they accomplish. I think that this blog went very well, but there could be some improvements such as: going out and asking the question, do stereotypes acompish anything to an equal amount of races, instead of just going and getting research already conducted. If i were to do this kind of blog again i would probably have the same research question, but i would, as i said, go out and ask people their opinion.
There were more people that agreed that stereotypes accomplish things than i originally thought. They were all teenagers, but maybe over time teenagers will become to realize that stereotypes can not accomplish anything. We are the future of the world, and would greatly benefit from learning this valuable lesson.

Recommendations

One way that the information would be more accurate, would be if more people of different races were asked questions or surveyed on the topic of race. To make the research of stereotypes more efficient, i could have gone out and asked the question on my blog on my own, in stead of relying on a survey already created with an unequal amount of people in each race asked.

In education it is being stressed that stereotypes can not and will ever accomplish anything, but yet there are people who still think that they do. If schools were to stress more, how stereotypes do not accomplish anything then maybe there will be more students that agree, like wise if parents stressed a great deal of anti-stereotypical feelings then there would be more believers.

Conculusion

Based on the data that i have collected in my research, most of the time stereotypes do not accomplish anything, but sometimes stereotypes can. The survey where all of this information came from was answered equally by both Blacks and Whites, but there were only two Asians, two Latinos, and five others. Every race has different views about what and if stereotypes accomplish anything and in this survey, both blacks and whites have both equally contributed, but other races contributed unequally. Therefore the information in the graph is in-accurate, due to unequal racial make-up.

This Graph shows the comparison of peoples ideas about if stereotypes can accomplish anything. 96 teenagers, 32 males and 64 females , all from 14-16 years of age took this survey. a few different races contributed to this survey, 40 Blacks, 40 Whites, 2 Asians, 2 Latinos, 7 mixed, and 5 others.

Sources

The term 'race' began to categorize people early in the 16th century. by the 18th century it had evolved into meaning a type, sort or kind. when the English started their colonies, they saw their race, the white race, as free, and the people they had conquered were their slaves. the differences that the English saw in other races is what ultimately caused racial categories.

reasearch/ investigation question

Do stereotypes accomplish anything?

Goal

i am interested in the topic of racial stereotypes, because i would like to learn where they come from and why they are created. Some say that racial stereotypes are learned based on the enviorment you live in. others say that they are learned naturally. i believe that both result in racial stereotypes.
