Essay prompt: Think of one derogated/stigmatized group in your society, and explain how they are stigmatized by

referring to Galinsky, Hugenberg, Groom, and Bodenhausen (2003). In your opinion, what could be done to
eliminate/reduce this stigmatization?

INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH (Source 1/Paraphrase)

Thesis Statement: In our society, one of derogated groups is LGBT. Stigmatization leads to overt and covert prejudice
and discrimination, the negative reactions and evaluations, and groups are disadvantaged in terms of opportunities they
are afforded and the outcomes that they achieve. I strongly believe that educating people and contact between them can
reduce stigmatization.
