Social Psychology: Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination in the News
For this assignment you will choose a recent (i.e., within the last year) news event from an appropriate article and do the following:
Identify a recent news event that depicts stereotypes, prejudice, or discrimination. Provide the article describing the event you have chosen.
Briefly describe the news event and indicate the basis of stereotype, prejudice or discrimination (example, social class, ethnicity, gender, age, race, sexual orientation, or religion).
Apply one of the social psychological theories to explain why an individual/organization in this situation was influenced by stereotypes, prejudice, or discrimination.
How does the level of social diversity in the relevant environment described in the event (e.g., family, school, work, or community) explain why discrimination occurred?
