...The first thing people would ask me is why don’t I sound like Apu from the Simpsons and does my mother wear a dot in the middle of her forehead? These comments made me irritated. You can see Indian stereotypes in everyday television show. One of the most popular shows today is The Big Bang Theory where British Indian actor Kunal Nayyar plays Raj Koothrappali. Mimicking some of the Indian stereotyping he nods his head sideways and portrays a thick accent, he also plays a brilliant scientist. Then we have Kal Penn, who plays Kumar in Harold and Kumar, who is being stereotyped as intelligence and his family expects him to become a doctor. Television shows, as such, sterotypes Indians as being only intelligent or having low- income jobs like taxi drivers or owners of curry shops. Although these are some of the typical Indian stereotypes, there are some Indian actors that are have been successful in making the American Screens. Prinkca Choptra, the star of ABCs hit Quantico, plays an FBI...

For some these changes were viewed as not an intrusion or criticism of their way of life but as a positive, needed social awakening but for others it only provoked a fierce need to protect their prejudicial point of view resulting violence and inhuman acts of injustice toward African Americans. During this period a young woman by the name of Harper Lee began writing a story about a young girl in a quiet southern town going up in the south 1930’s with plot encompassing social...

...princess Fiona the setting is effective in creating suspense as the castle is surrounded by fire and lava, a dangerous dragon and the castle is scattered with the bones of those who tried to rescue Fiona in the past but failed. The setting is dark and Frightening, showing that Donkey and Shrek are embarking on a very dangerous mission. The fact that Shrek goes through with this mission shows that he is brave in contrast to the coward King. Conclusion: The Shrek films addresses the intense stigmatization and overt prejudice against those who do not meet appearance ideals. It challenges the way different characters are perceived and recognizes that the way in which as person looks does not define their character. The story of Shrek uses representational devices to reverse our expectations and in turn creates a great film. The viewer feels that Shrek is a far nicer character than Lord Farquaad even though by first glance does not look like he is, this challenges our sterotypes of how villains and heroes should look, making shrek a perfect “Hero is disguise” ...

...UVA-OB-0381 PREJUDICE IN ORGANIZATIONS The problems faced by women and minorities create a serious malfunction in corporate operations. Minorities and women have yet to be accepted as full members of corporate formal and informal networks. Until they are, not only do they suffer but so does the corporation. The utilization of minorities and women in many, many cases toward corporate effectiveness and efficiency continues to be seriously hampered by behaviors in crucial interpersonal relationships that reflect racist and sexist attitudes. - John Fernandez1 Although many would like to believe otherwise, prejudiced attitudes continue to present problems for millions of people in our society. Prejudices result in counter productive behavior such as demeaning humor, verbal abuse, harassment, violence, and more subtly (given comparable performance) lower pay, slower or non-existent promotions, systematic exclusion from various gatherings, greater scrutiny, higher standards, and awkward social encounters. Many groups labor with these realities in the work place: women, racial minorities, older workers, foreign nationals, sexual preference, religious and ethnic groups, and the physically handicapped all feel the sting of social prejudice. Prejudice is a problem that touches all aspects of life, but it has only recently been addressed openly in the work place. Prejudice lingers despite the fact that noticeable shifts in the composition of our work force have taken...

...Erik 1 As one man once said “Basically, human traits are the same everywhere. I don't want this to soun like “As Confucius say,” but under the sky, under the heavens, there is but one family.” The man who said this quote is the same man who I look up to today and that is Bruce Lee. Today millions of people across the world look up to Bruce Lee the same way I do and see some of his greatest accomplishments, some though may look at Bruce and think nothing of him because of his ethnicity or background. Many people are descriminated against because of their race. This is because many people are still bound by tradition; when the elder generatoin of people says “no” to something, then these other people will strongly disaprove of it as well. If the elders say that something is wrong, then they also believe that is is wrong. They seldom use their mind to find out the truth and seldom express sincerely their real feeling. The simple truth is that these opinion on such thing as racism are traditions, which are nothing more than a “formula” laid down by these elder people's experience. As we progress together and time changes, is is necessary to reform this formula. We must all look at it this wasy no matter if your color is black or white, red, or blue, we can still make friends each other without any barrier. I personally believe that Bruce Lee brought they barrier down for many Asian Americans. In one of Bruce Lee's films Fist of Fury, Lee was simply just going to walk into a park...

...THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE ORGANIZATIONS GO- OR STOP “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” Four Common Role-Players: 1. Central Connects: these are the people who link people in an informal network with one another. They aren’t usually the formal leaders within a unit or department, but they know who can provide critical information or expertise that the entire network draws on to get work done. Even though there is a CEO in the company, this person is very important as well. 2. Boundary Spanners: these are the people who connect an information network with other parts of the company or with similar networks in other organizations. They take the time to consult with an advise individuals from many different departments- marketing, production, for instance- regardless of their own affiliations. Connect people from different departments with each other. 3. Information Brokers: these are the people who keep the different subgroups in an informal network together. If they didn’t communicate across the subgroups, the network as a whole would splinter into smaller, less-effective segments. Connect subgroups together 4. Peripheral Specialists: these are the people who anyone in an informal network can turn to for specialized expertise. Are the specialists on the side and tend to be loners. It is important to know who these people are in the organization, because whenever you need something, these people will point you to the right direction and connect...
