Task 2.
A-Read the following text about “Stereotypes”, then answer
the questions:

What is a Stereotype?
The definition of a stereotype is any commonly known public
belief about a certain social group or type of individual.
Stereotypes are often confused with prejudices, because, like
prejudices, a stereotype is based on a prior assumption.
Stereotypes are often created about people of specific
cultures or races.
Almost every culture or race has a stereotype, including Jewish
people, blacks, Irish people, and Polish people, among others.
Stereotypes are not just centered on different races and
backgrounds, however. Gender stereotypes also exist. For
example, if you say that men are better than women, you’re
stereotyping all men and all women. If you say that all women
like to cook, you are stereotyping women.
Sexual orientation stereotypes are also common. These
stereotypes occur when you have negative views on gays,
lesbians, and transgender individuals. People who have these
negative views are often known as homophobic.

Why is it bad to Stereotype?

Stereotyping is not only hurtful, it is also wrong. Even if the
stereotype is correct in some cases, constantly putting
someone down based on your preconceived perceptions will
not encourage them to succeed. Stereotyping can lead to
bullying form a young age. Jocks and Preps pick on the Nerds
and the Greeks; Skaters pick on the Goths, so on and so forth.

2
Stereotyping is encouraging buying behavior that children
carry into adulthood. Stereotyping can also lead people to
live driven by hate, and can cause the victims of those
stereotypes to be driven by fear. For example, many gays and
lesbians are afraid to admit their sexuality in fear of being
judged. It is a lose-lose situation, both for those who are doing
the stereotype and those who are victims.

1. Stereotype= estereotipo

Instructions Task 3.
A- Listen to an expert taking about Costa Rican diversity.

Host: Welcome to the program, Allen. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

To begin with What’s diversity?
Allen: Thanks my pleasure! When taking about people diversity
refers to the inclusion of people who represent more than one
gender, race, and religion; among others.
Host: Is Costa Rica a diverse country?
Allen: Sure! Indeed every place in this country is full of diversity. To
begin with, I can mention indigenous groups, immigrants, nationality
mix, tourists, etc.
Host: Who are some of them?
Allen: For instance, some indigenous groups are Maleku, Huetar and
Térraba. Also there is a big population of immigrants including
Nicaraguan, Colombian, Spanish and American. Regarding
nationality mix, it includes a much extended list, and tourists come
from all over the world to enrich our culture.
Host: Are there stereotypes in Costa Rica?
Allen: There are stereotypes in every country, but there shouldn’t. If
we part from the fact that we are all different, things like city and
country of origin, ethnicity and religion shouldn’t matter.
Host: Are there stereotypes even inside a community with similar
characteristics?
Allen: Yes, even inside a community that shares many important
characteristics you can find people who are stereotyped for their
job, career, income, age, sexual orientation, body type and even
dress
Host: How can someone get rid of stereotypes?
Allen: There are enough things people can do. I would say that the
first step is to increase awareness of the consequences and history
of racism, which is exceptionally awful. In this way, you will know is
harm.
Second step is to break all the stereotypes society has taught
people. They can change their perspective by understanding that
variety is something all we have. And finally, hang out with all kinds

of people, let them speak up and let’s stop talking down about
others.

B- Answer the following questions about the conversation:

a. What’s diversity? It’s the inclusion of people who represent
more than one gender, race and religion, among others.
b. Is Costa Rica diverse? Why? Yes, it is because there are

c. Where do immigrants come from? They come from all over
the world.
