If we go and show bad attitude and show that we are negative to certain people around them. Then we could make children to be the same way, which is not a good example to them as young children don’t know the differences between right and wrong. As a teaching assistant it is my duty and responsibility to respect the children with there needs and accept them for who they are. The way I can do this is if I think about my own beliefs and opinions so I can learn not to judge others on the basis of their race, gender or religion etc. In my line
This leads to an ethical question of, is giving an intelligence test ethical? In some cases I feel it is, and in some it is not. It all depends on how equal teachers will treat their students. Not all teachers are capable of being fair to everyone after knowing how intelligent they are. In cases of that it might be best for scores to be kept private, known just to parents and the student.
Explicit is any form of a hate crime. Being implicit is the other form of prejudice. This is something that’s done unconsciously and it’s a nonverbal type of behavior. For example, a person feeling uncomfortable in the presence of someone other than their race. Stereotyping a person can lead to becoming prejudice.
With my personally beliefs I don’t think that there are any positive aspects to stereotypes. Stereotypes cause voids between people. I view stereotypes as negative actions and thought that people show toward others. Since they are neagitive I feel that they would cause more harm and danger than anything else. What are the negative aspects of stereotypes?
Task 2: describe how discrimination can be seen in practise. Prejudice is the prejudging of people or groups of people; this is not based on any evidence or factual knowledge but on ignorance and fear. Discrimination involves a person or persons acting on their prejudices which results in the unfair treatment of an individual or groups of individuals. Discrimination mainly happens on the bases of a person’s sexuality, ethnicity, religion, age, culture, gender, social class, health status and cognitive ability. There are four types of discrimination, the first is individual discrimination.
Barriers come in many forms, such as when key persons are doing observations and planning. The parents may lack in confidence to give any suggestions or feel that their contribution isn’t worth making at all; they may also not want to get involved in this. However practitioner should let the parents of the child take charge on the suggestion making, instead of the practitioners taking charge. This allows the parents to feel valued and respect being given such an important role, building the parents confidence as their suggestions have be taken into
CRIME AND DEVIANCE Deviancy is any behaviour that defies the norms of a particular social group. It is anti-social behaviour/or non-normative behaviour or behaviour that does not conform to societal expectations. Definition: American sociologists Marshall Clinard cited in Haralambos and Holborn (1995:387) defines deviancy as, “Any behaviour that is in a disapproved direction and of a sufficient degree to exceed the tolerance limit of that community. This definition has been criticised for ignoring those forms of deviancy which are tolerable. - Deviancy should be viewed as arelative act i.e.
The second principle is: “Peoples interpretations of their experiences influence the specific things they learn from those experiences”. People may misinterpret certain experiences, and may not be able to truly learn the lesson they are being taught. The third principle is: “New learning builds upon prior learning.” This principle implies that to learn you must begin with the basic and work up to things that are complex. The forth principle is: “Motivation affects what and how much people learn.” Theorist says that you must give people a reason to want to learn, because lack of interest will result in no learning. The fifth principle is: “The consequences that follow people’s behaviors affect their future learning and behavior.” In this principle, “consequences” doesn’t necessarily mean a form of punishment, it may mean constructive criticism.
So how can we avoid this behavior if and when we recognize it as such? First we need to identify all the components Prejudice is usually a negative incorrect unjustified attitude or prejudgment directed towards someone based on personal views of a particular social group or groups. Someone that’s prejudice towards others may not act according to their beliefs, but still may not discriminate against them. One line of logic that is used is to justify ones prejudice and stereotypes is to justify the system used; by using social inequalities, they legitimizing beliefs, attitudes and myths. By placing emphasizing a lower-status groups weakness, according to their weaknesses and flaws, they justify those that are in a higher status maintaining the status quo and in doing so allowing the higher status individual to feel secure in their position.
Prejudiced views between cultures may result in racism; in its extreme forms, racism may result in genocide, such as occurred in Germany with the Jews, in Rwanda between the Hutus and Tutsis and, more recently, in the former Yugoslavia between the Bosnians and Serbs. Henri Tajfel proposed that stereotyping is based on a normal cognitive process – the tendency to group things together. In doing so, we tend to exaggerate the differences between groups and the similarities of things in the same group. We categorize people in the same way. We see the group to which we belong (the in-group) as being different from the others (the out-group), and members of the same group as being more similar than they are.
