"DON'T JUMP TO CONCLUSION"   T MOKOENA 47235853

Stereotypes are like mental shortcuts that our brains use to make sense of the world. We see people from different groups, and based on limited information or past experiences, we might jump to conclusions about them for example someone who’s coming from the country where by they see us as poor people. STOP yourself before making snap judgements other consider what you have common with other people it can be more that you think.

Having a roommate who don’t give you a chance or her/him self a chance to know you but they will assume we don’t know how to use technology things that were supposed to be known by blacks.

The Danger of a single story creates stereotypes and the problem with stereotypes is not that they untrue but they are incomplete where Americans judge us Africans on how we live and how we don’t know some of other things we are talking about.

I find this as a stereotype when John Lock after he was referred to the blacks Africans as “beasts who have no houses they also people without heads having their mouth and eyes in their beasts” and which is not true as Black African we have houses and we got brains that hold multiples of ideas. Some they don’t develop empathy for others.

I experienced stereotype this year when I was in group with some of my teams there were two whites and three of us blacks so they asked each group to discuss certain answers about the questions they were asking us so I had an idea how to put an answer I guess I didn’t know that the whole black person can say we can’t take your answer “white people they give matured answer that have a proper meaning” I guess they didn’t let me finish my idea of the answer or get to know me first but they already made a decision for me because they didn’t want to hear my idea of the answer I say not only white people who stereotype blacks even black they are towards on their own people.

So I say don't jump to conclusion without knowing someone, what that person got for the team. "DON'T JUDGE THE BOOK BY IT'S COVER" it's gonna surprise you.
