Kiki Davidson 1/31/13 Judgment of Culture: What is a stereotype? A stereotype is a public belief about a certain social group or a type of individual‚ usually about how they act in their culture. Stereotypes are often confused with prejudices‚ since both are based on a prior assumption‚ and you know what they say about when you assume.

Our first impression of someone is almost always visual. Immediately we scan everyone we meet from head to toe and make instant assumptions. We use our first visual impression of someone as an indicator of who they are and where they’ve been. While there are many ways to read someone based on their “look”‚ clothes may be the most telling.

Othello vs. Othello Throughout Hollywood history‚ many screen adaptations of famous books and novels have strayed away from its original. In almost every movie based on a literary work‚ there are always major differences. Whether it is in the story plot‚ character‚ or even its setting‚ spotting the differences is always easy to find.

The Jealousy of Othello and the Motives of Iago in William Shakespeare’s Othello The Orthodox interpretation of Shakespeare’s Othello is built on two assumptions; that Othello is not a jealous man and that Iago has no motives.
