Cailen Hollins Assignment #1: Nickelodeons Many nickelodeons began popping up all over the country in the year 1905, but all seemed to have one thing in common: the owners attempt to bring in an audience by decorating their store fronts. Images 2, 5, and 6 are great examples of this practice, although each is decorated in a different way. In Image 2, the owner of the “Princess Theatre” adorns his storefront by advertising for the current film he is showing.

“When people rely on surface appearances and false racial stereotypes, rather than in-depth knowledge of others at the level of the heart, mind and spirit, their ability to assess and understand people accurately is compromised.” James A. Forbes said. People have often stereotyped races and ethnicities because based less on fact than rumor and exaggeration.

Stereotypes are seen all throughout history in films and television. With all of the character tropes that began to make an appearance in films, most characters were thrown into a certain box with a checklist of criterias that they had to fit.

In most high school movies there is almost always a teacher's pet, jock, stoner, geek, and most importantly a mean girl. A mean girl trope is very common in high school movies and they are usually one of the most relevant characters to the plot of the movie.

One stereotype talked about by Gillespie was that, “only beboppers wore beards, goatees, and other facial hair and adornments.” (Walser, 157). Gillespie had an issue with this because when he shaved it the stubble that grew back made it uncomfortable for him to play with his mouth piece (Walser, 157). Dizzy therefore decided to grow it out to prevent the mouth piece problems and he liked the fact that it attracted the women around him (Walser, 157). Another stereotype was that, “beboppers spoke mostly in slang or tried to talk like Negroes.”
