Pride and
Prejudiced- Challenging today's prejudice’s one stereotype at a time.
I've been noodling this idea around in my head for some time
now. Finally it is finding its way into
action.
I am creating a blog as a platform to promote this endeavor.
Depending on where this leads, it may become a video blog, documentary or a
book somewhere in the future.
The goal of the project is to challenge today’s stereotypes
one at a time. Taking time to walk in another’s shoes can open the door to a
broader acceptance of a generally easily biased issue.
I am planning on using many resources as tools to keep this
project authentic and unbiased. These include: costuming, props, theme specific
locations, honest reporting, character role acting, and recruitment of both
assistant actors, and real life interviewees.
These tools will be used to gain
a real everyday understanding of the life lived as a minority or commonly stereotyped
individual or groups of peoples. The greater goal is to gain understanding and
a greater compassion towards the people who live in these situations daily.
Some of the general categories of commonly prejudiced stereotypes
I would like to start with include:
Ethnic minorities
Social Economic classes
Sexual identity and orientation
Spiritual/religious beliefs and practices
Age related biases
Health and wellness
Education/Career stereotypes
This is a simplified list to my longer more specific
list. I would like to invite you to join this project. It is meant to be a positive
experience, not a place for conflict, or bigotry. I very much welcome ideas,
comments, thoughts, suggestions, volunteers, etc…BE NICE!!!
