Write about a time when you realized that your perception of a person or group was based on stereotypes. How did this realization affect your behavior or beliefs? What steps did you take to change your perceptions?"
There was a time when I assumed that all "mean people" were simply cruel for no reason, but I later realized that many act that way because of personal struggles, insecurities, or past experiences. This changed my perspective, making me more patient and understanding instead of reacting with frustration. I started listening more, asking questions instead of assuming the worst, and reminding myself that kindness can sometimes soften even the harshest attitudes. While some people may still choose to be unkind, I’ve learned that responding with empathy often leads to better interactions and sometimes even unexpected friendships.
Today in class we started a group project showing films that demonstrates negative stereotypes of cultures.
Today was good, tomorrow will be better.
