People will look at you and expect you to act according to the stereotype given to you. Stereotypes often force people to believe that that’s the way you should act or that’s the way that these other guys should act. If you fall under a stereotype, you’re often already viewed a way and people believe that’s how you should or could act.
Humans can start using too many trees too fast for new ones to grow. Humans can also use too much plastic too fast for it to be recycled.
Answer:
It is that time of year again when South Africans celebrate National Senior Certificate results, ushering a generation of youth out of the school system and into the world. Of the 788,717 who successfully completed these exams, 186,058 achieved passes that potentially open the doors of university study.
As we read about the results, we take delight in the success stories, like the student from a poorer background scoring multiple distinctions despite having no properly qualified maths or science teacher. Or the rural student who earned a university entrance despite walking long distances to school each day. These achievements should be celebrated, as they are truly exceptional.
But the problem with these stories, uplifting as they may be, is that they often carry a subtext.
The presumption that hard work alone leads to success – and that laziness leads to failure – follows the student into the university. Here, despite a wealth of careful research that proclaims otherwise, most people believe that success emerges from the intelligence and work ethic of the individual.
In a recent journal article, we have argued that academics often ignore the research on student failure that shows it emerges from a number of factors. Many of these factors are beyond the attributes inherent in the student. Instead, most hold on to the simplistic common sense assumption that success comes to those who deserve it. Academics who hold this view are prone to assume that students are successful because of what an individual student does or does not do.
But the reality is a far more complex interplay of individual attributes with social structures which unfairly affect some more than others.
Explanation:
Incomplete and unclear question. However, I infer you are referring to the article "The Myth of the Exploited Student-Athlete" by Barbara Osborne.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The author throughout the article analyses the claims that student-athletes are under-compensated by their institutions.
Furthermore, ln a sense the institutions "are making more money" than the students by exploiting the athletes through lower pay.
