Annotated Bibliography Introduction: Examine different kinds of advertisements and the problem at hand with how they perpetuate stereotypes, such as; gender, race, and religion.

In efforts to attract the eye of the general population, advertising companies create billboards, commercials, flyers and other ads with stereotypes that are accepted in today’s society. Because of the nations’ cultural expectation for all different types of people, advertisement businesses follow and portray exactly what and how each specific gender, race, or religion should be.
There’s a new report that recently surfaced saying that if people have to receive ads, they’d rather hear them in podcasts.

Being a fast food worker for the past year and a half, I have been exposed to numerous different types of people, and most of them are not the same race as me.

One of my favorite managers was Rose, a Hispanic woman who had been so kind to me. She was an example of someone who was able to teach me things about herself I could have stereotyped and not taken the time to learn anything about her as an individual.

Over the past week, I was tasked to choose between one of two articles that all of the incoming freshman at Union County College in preparation for the up and coming school year. This decision will forever change the way the incoming students will do before stereotyping a certain race, religion, or sexual preference. One of the articles I had to choose from was called, “Don’t Let Stereotypes Warp Your Judgments” By Robert L. Heilbroner, while the other one was called, “Black Men and Public Space” by Brent Staples.

Society has different expectations of people in specific age cohorts (McMullin, 2010). Since most of our population is becoming older, because of the baby boom, ageism revolves around the elderly since the stereotypes of the elderly include them not being active members of society.

Standing on my nightstand is a teetering tower of stories spanning from brittle textbooks to honeyed fairy tales, gruff Greek tragedies to smoky mysteries; they tell their stories to me in laughs, in grunts, in whispers, in shouts. They can be found on my pillow as I’m curled up under the sheets, or in one hand while I’m pace the room.
