Putting an End to Stereotyping

 

Clearly this was an intimidation under the stereotype threat. Evidencing one more time that the threat is imposed to us as a social existence in a negative way which is underperforming.
             Similarly another and personal example of this threat is when I started college. "You're a newbie in a challenging, evaluative world in which you want to succeed" (152). I remember my first day of class it was a reading class and what most caught my attention was that I was the only person who was not a teenager. As a consequence of this I ended up feeling out of place and insecure. The insecurities were flying on my mind labeling myself. I was totally debilitating my identity and encouraging me to failure and doubt. Even though I was sure my education was way important. These additional worries were still there causing me anxiety and reducing disengagement and performance at class. .
             Many insecurities and fear stem are from lack of understanding. The more you get to know about a situation, the more confident you will feel. One positive effect to help people to succeed and overcome this issue is to be a role model to the person who may be under stereotype threat. Being a role model can become inspiring in the confidence and motivation of a person. Another one is provide useful information on how to develop confidence and the importance of high confidence. People usually get so scared when they think are going to fulfill a negative stereotype so they get frustrated more about this instead of the task are completing. Finally, encourage them to dedicate right time and keep up with class work is always a good choice. Positive effort leads to positive results. Having this on mind you'll find the way to refocuses move on, in the same way feeling the sense of belonging. .
             Colleges, Communities and Companies are difficult places to cope with the stereotype threat issue, but it's not impossible. Moreover I believed at MVC we can work together and bring up with ideas that would prevent or help students and staff from the faculty.
