The Breakfast Club 1984

Of Perceptions and Stereotypes

Of all the many lines that we draw to separate us from another perhaps is as abiding as labeling , or the stereotyping of individuals based on physical attributes such as the color of their skin of their religious preferences . On an unconscious level , such biases do play a role in our daily actuations and behavior , whether we acknowledge it or not . These biases impute certain types of stereotypes that affect how we treat and react to people

The problem is that while modern society now acknowledges equal rights

br among various people of different racial orientations . People on an unconscious level still react differently to people that they think is not similar to them . Ordinarily , such differences or preferences /biases over another are not apparent on the ordinary activities that individuals pursue on a day to day basis . However , on split-second situations where people are acting on a more instinctive level , such subtle biases become more evident . This seeks to understand how we judge people in a variety of ways , how such judgments came to be and how these social judgments affect the people who are the subject of such judgments . In this experiment , it will focus on how implicit information can create both negative and positive effects on their view about an individual framed within a popular movie in the 1980 's
