First Immpression
Stereotyping
is a term that being use with categorizing system in order to judge. Judging other
people becomes one of the most popular habits of people around the world. We tend
to assume on others. For example we divide people into different group like tidy,
lazy, nerd, bad people and many more. This example usually comes from people
who judge based on their own assumption. During the first time we met the
people, we will judge them with our intuition and experiences before such as if
we met a person who wears spectacles, and we will probably think that the
person is nerd.
The main problem now is what are
the claimer references to prove his claims? Because as we can see, these
claimers point out their opinion without referring or providing any evidence
and supporting details. Actually these people have that perception because of
their culture from generation to generation where they have been set up to
think and judge in their culture way of thinking. In order to claim a premise,
one should have the valid basis. His premise must come from the facts, not from
their unproven opinions.
However, this kind of thinking
seem to be something that very difficult to be avoid from doing by most people.
This is because these people have practicing this way of thinking since they
were young. So in order to avoid this perception, the person has to start practicing
the right way on claiming the premises. Lastly, this is the purpose of the
Critical Literacy subject.
