Stereotype

Exercise I

This time I will discuss a dialogue to find a point of view about stereotypes that occur around us. Based on conversations with Debbie, Mario, and Maria, I will try to find out what the existing stereotypes are and give my response to the common stereotypes.

I have found two stereotypes in this dialogue, namely that women must come first in all conditions. as contained in the dialogue that Mario and Maria are brothers and at the same time unequal twins have uniqueness and privileges. Maria mentioned that it was the girl who was born first and Mario a few minutes after that. This causes a man to have to give in and put his interests first. then the second stereotype is about Italian boys are always polite. this proves the wisdom of a man who can be polite and friendly to anyone, including his brother.

Talking about the riddles Debbie gave to Mario and Maria, they both had different answers and responses. Maria assumes that the surgeon is not her father because her father is also badly injured and Mario thinks that the surgeon may be her stepfather, but Debbie replies that the answer is wrong.

After Mario and Maria try to answer Debbie's riddle, in the end, no one can answer her question. then I tried to answer myself what the answer was and the answer was his mother. why? because the surgeon said that "he is my son" which means most likely the surgeon is his parents and he is his mother

Exercise II

I have determined the film that I will discuss and find out examples of stereotypes that occur in our daily lives, namely "The Adventures of Sherina" briefly that Sherina's character is represented as a very active, intelligent, fearless, and adventurous little girl. this is different from the stereotype that occurs in everyday life that women are weaker than men. I think that what Sherina did is quite successful in breaking the stereotype that women are weak with her courage and attitude that is able to prove to everyone that women can also do what men do even more than that.

Thank you and enjoy :)
