Stereotype

Most of some people's conclusions about others is usually from how they were raised and what they were taught if they see someone with a certain "swagger". But now in today's generation alot of stereotyping has cut down. for example their are more interracial couples, because people are realizing that racism is ignorant and it shouldnt matter what COLOR your skin is if you want to be with someone. Another example is people with tattoo's, before if you had a tattoo you were considered a "THUG" or you've been to prison but people never knew the real truth about your body art and today alot of people have tattoo's and they are big tattoo's too and others don't see people as criminals or thugs. its a way of expression.

"To what degree do I consider myself a native?" :(Digital Natives) A phrase popularized by Mark Prensky that describes today's students and there approach to technology. "Our students today are all "native speakers" of the digital language of computers, video games and the Internet." I have been using and introduced to this new technology of the 20th/21st century since I was little and it plays a major role in my everyday life from making and emergency phone call or just to entertain myself. I would consider myself an in between major and minor digital native because I can live without some of these things it won't kill me but at the sametime the use of this technology makes things alot easier to do than in the past.
