Activity
In all cultures stereotypes
are created (simplified perceptions, endowed with few details, exaggerated and
generalized of a culture or region), as for example in the case of the Spanish,
that we are considered at international level as extroverts and vague, Or as
the case of the English, who are considered as stretched people who never
arrive late... But many of these ways of characterizing people from other
countries or other cultures are not always seen in the same way by the speakers
of the culture described.
In this activity you must
think about the personal stereotypes that the rest of Europeans associate with
your country of origin, and also answer the following questions in the Platform
forum:
1. Name the stereotypes
(both positive and negative) that are supposed to be your own because of your
place of birth.
2. Do you think that these
stereotypes are based on the knowledge of different cultures or are supported
by prejudices? Justify your answer.
3. Do you feel identified
by that stereotype that has been awarded to you by your place of origin? Why?
4. Are there any that you
think does resemble the typical personality of the people in your country?
5. Make a description of
yourself in 2 or 3 lines so that the other colleagues can see if the
stereotypes they know about your country have some truth or not. similarly,
read the descriptions of your peers and reflect on whether you have ever
believed in them.
