Profiling or stereotyping?

well, in essence, they are the same..."Profiling" is just a prettier word, and something we let slip by for a sense of security.\nIt's made possible by statistics, certain races, and classes commit the same crimes over and over...so, hence your stereotyping...sometimes people fit the mold too well, this is who the media throws in the spotlight often enough to make the majority believe.

How you view yourself and how you would describe yourself to others.

Stereotyping is when you form a fixed idea or image of a group of people, then you assume that everyone in the group will behave or be the same (while you may only meet only one person or a few people from the group).\n\nDiscrimination is somewhat similar to Stereotyping, but this one is more like a comparison between/ among groups. Then one group will be treated differently from another.\n\nTo me, stereotyping is just a whole idea of a group of people, for example, when we think of a person from a country, we will think of how 'people' from that country is like. Can be bad and good, but no comparison (I think). And it is more on culture, tradition and beliefs that people in a country have followed, so that others know that these are unique to whom.\n\nOr it can be a famous school/ college. Students in a famous school is stereotyped as a smart person no matter how really smart he/she is.\n\nFor discrimination, we see often. In some countries, people discriminate against women but in favour of men. Or racial discrimination.\n\nI think this is it... but perhaps you can also check more on the Internet.. There should be the info somewhere..\n\nLink below may help :)

RACIAL STEREOTYPING IN AMERICA\nOutline:\nI. What is a stereotype.\n   a. Give the definition of a stereotype here.\n   b. History of stereotypes, (i.e. brought about by slavery, immigration, etc.....)\n   c. How are stereotypes formed.\n\nII. Impact of stereotyping in the workplace.\n    a.Racial/ethnic groups targeted by   stereotypes. (Here, discuss the impact of stereotyping, and institutional racism of African Americans, Latinos, and other ethnic groups that are growing in population in America.\n    b.Discuss diversity initiatives developed by employers to combat stereotypes.\n    c. Melting Pot vs. Salad Bowl. Here discuss that modern day sociologists no longer use the "Melting Pot" to describe America. We use the Salad Bowl. A "Melting Pot" was found not to appreciate individual differences. We are all put in a big pot and mixed all together. We are taught that we have to be the same. With the "Salad Bowl," you have your lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, etc.... We are individual culturally, yet we can come together as one, and our individual differences are still accepted.\n\nIII. What is Tolerance?\n     a. Give definition of tolerance. Go to www.dictionary.com to get all of your definitions okay?\n     b. Is tolerance fair? State that it is not. Tolerate means to put up with? Do we really want to "put up" those Mexicans, or those Pakistani people? No! We want to be appreciative and accepting of their culture, their contributions to the changing color of America. Get the point? \n\nIV. Summary/Questions:\n     a. Do a wrap up of your presentation, and give your audience time to ask questions: Also, have a list of books ready for reference. Perhaps you could pass out a reference sheet. A great book is "It's the Little Things. Everyday interactions, that annoy, anger and divide the races." I suggest that you read this book. It's great. \nHope this helps. I see nothing wrong with asking for help. Every great presenter gets ideas from others. If we knew everything, we would be rich and we could retire. I hope you give a great speech. If you need more help, email me. :)

Yes to an extent, what is commonly refered to as racial profiling makes sense (when not abused). For example: \nA car load of black or hispanic kids are rolling around a lets say mostly white upscale neighborhood at 3 am,plates get run, and it's pretty obvious they don't live in the area and may be up to no good I believe is an acceptable type of profiling.\n I will say the same for a car load of suburban white boys driving around the hood,in high drug areas etc. That contrary to popular belief is also profiling.   Crime needs to be controlled and I dont personally see it as a violation of ones right's to be stopped when they are deemed to be suspicous.  Of course people will call me racist etc, but to an open mind what I just stated makes sense and is fair.

You're exactly right. \n\nStereotyping and generalizing is not wrong, its just very broad, and not always entirely accurate. To say that 'most people have 2 eyes' is a stereotype, and a generalization. \n\nTo discriminate and to judge is also to determine what is right and wrong. I don't know anybody that doesn't have at least some type of morals or standards. Where would society be if we didn't look at a particular situation and say "Thats simply wrong" ? \n\nGood stuff. Keep up the interesting and truly thought provoking questions.

I believe that it does.  Even in states where there are a ton of ethnicity's like New York it happens.  I also be live that there is profiling against teens.  I am also not sure that this profiling is just black.  I believe that more and more people of middle eastern back-round have been experiencing profiling.  I would hope that many police do not do it on purpose while I know many do.  Ignorance is bliss and I believe that these people of authority need to be enlightened that there are many different people in this nation... . That is what makes this the USA.  Perhaps some training on a bi-annual basis would help, but I do not think it is something that will ever be eliminated.  Sad as far as I am concerned!

Everyone has their prejudices, but some people are more likely to act on them than others are.  I try to judge the individual, but I am just as guilty as anyone else of having my stereotypes.  I'm sure others feel the same way about me in that regard.  I guess the best rules of thumb that I use in dealing with my personal prejudices is to keep in mind that one person, or a few people, demonstrating negative traits isn't representative of the whole group that he or she belongs to, and you have to be willing to look at the positive traits demonstrated by others in the group.

Black what...? If you are referring to Human Beings please say people.....and not all black people yell racial profiling...I have an Irish accent and I get racially profiled every time I say something in public but I gave up yelling about it years ago because some people are just ignorant.

Stereotyping is never a good idea. As a Catholic, I have to live with endless jokes about pedophilia, for instance, despite the fact that I've never heard of any such thing happening in my own parish or diocese. I survived years of Catholic school and served as an altar boy without incident. Yet I'm stuck with these stupid jokes and stereotypes. And as an Italian-American, I'm stereotyped a second time. Anyway, all this is to say that just because some priests did these terrible things definitely doesn't mean that I did them, or approve of them. So, as we already knew from the beginning, stereotyping is a bad idea, as well as a sign of intellectual laziness.

Depends on the context it is said. Assumed, ignored, belittled, generalized, stereotyped, etc.

Racial profiling as in "be on the lookout for a black male, 25 to 30 years of age," is certainly a form of racial profiling; however, racial profiling per-se is not a fair nor a tool that is required by law enforcement.\nAs an example I will pose a hypothetical situation involving an African-American middle aged woman that has been found murdered. \nIt will be a justifiable opinion that the murderer may have been an African-American male for the reason that 'blacks tend to murder blacks' as middle aged whites tend to kill/rape/serial murder other whites who are mainly women but also children and other men.\nThese are general statistics that are used in homicide investigations and which are not necessarily biased either toward one race or another, but however do hold investigative value for the control of crime. \n\n“In Criminal Justice, the issue is not how to protect the offender from the arbitrariness of the state, but how to bring the state more effectively to the aid of the offender.” \n“The State is not a Behemoth to be chained and fettered, but an agent capable of fulfilling an ambitious program. Thus a policy that calls for the states’ exercise of discretionary authority in finely tuned responses is at its core Progressive.” [The Positivist School]; [p 65]\n\nIn concluding and in my opinion it is not a biased attitude that is applied in certain criminal circumstances by police investigations but rather a more positive and direct methodology that allows for a quicker solution to a crime and its future control for the better safety of our society.  Try to find out about investigative techniques and you will find that the objective towards the resolution of a crime must be free of personal bias and a respect afforded for the constituitional rights of the accused/person of interest.

There is no general "classification". The view of a "good person" is as individual the individual himself. You have to make up your own mind as to what that is, as does everybody. There is really no point in just grasping the sociological standard of any opinion, including what can be classified as a good person.

Why is stereotyping (note spelling) bad?, that's a pretty stereotypical thing for you to say.  j/k\n\nTo be honest, the brain HAS to stereotype, otherwise the simple act of walking into a room would be not only profound, but a huge waste of time.  We categorize things into groups in order to speed up processing (much like a computer would do)  We see a gas oven with a blue flame under one of the burners, we don't touch it to see if its hot, we have (through experience) already learned it will burn us.\n\nI know this may not answer your question exactly the way you wanted it, so instead go watch the movie "Crash"  Stereotyping may be at times completely wrong and narrow minded, but it is also a survival instinct in the proper context.

You can't be too careful. Of course, it might not be politically correct to monitor a specific ethnicity either. I have met a few rag-heads that are pretty cool, and who are my friends. They call me cracker, and we play around, but don't take offense to each other's sarcastic jokes.
