Name: Charlene T. Marcial Section: BS Bio 1B Date: 2/21/22 Chapter 1 Activity 1. PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT: How did you “evolve”? Instructions: Make an e-scrapbook on what you used to look like when you were still a baby, pre-teen, teenager, and yourself now. Identify your physical changes and tell us the physical similarities you have inherited from your parents/grandparents. (50 Points) 2. ETHNIC LABELLING: Identifying stereotypes. Instructions: Given the different ethnic groups below, indicate the stereotypes you have heard from other people about them. On the other column, tell us then how your interactions with them: does it match the stereotype? Or did it tell otherwise? (50 Points) Ethnic Group 1. Tagalogs 2. Muslims 3. Aetas 4. Ilonggos/Ilonggas 5. Bisaya/Cebuanos Stereotype Real-life Interaction Experience Tagalogs are “conyo.” I have a lot of friends who are Tagalog and majority of them are not “conyo,” hence my friends and I talk normally. All muslims are terrorists. I had a classmate who was Muslim. She was really kind and helped me with activities and is very approachable. Aetas are uncivilized. Although I have never met an Aeta personally, I have seen a few videos of them and I think they are not uncivilized like what non-Aetas think. Ilonggos/Ilonggas are sweet and I met an Ilonggo from a game cheerful people. called “League of Legends.” He is a sweet amd nice person and we became friends after a few games. We also exchanged socials and until now we still talk and ask each other how we are doing. Bisaya/Cebuanos are loud As a Bisaya myself, I am a very people. silent person. In public places, I do not hear any clamor from the crowd, thus I believe this stereotype is not true. Conclusion: Based on my experiences with people who belong to an ethnic group, the way society sees them is sometimes different from who they really are. Stereotypes can either give ineffable expectations or greatly ruin their image. People then tend to be devalued simply because they belong in a certain group, not realizing that they are humans too and everyone is different. What we are as people does not depend on the ethnic group we belong to, hence attitudes and presonality traits should not be generalized.
