(One sentence)
- A stereotype that is most common is the idea that all Jews have
big noses and are socially awkward individuals. This stereotype
was created due to the fact that large portions of Jews are educated
and this sense of being educated is often attributed with the nerd
characteristic. This stereotype is still seen in todays society with
this image being a common representation of the average Jew.
Now that we have looked at negative stereotypes, lets take a look at the validity of these
stereotypes.

Another big stereotype that is that all Jews are wealthy. This
stereotype is highlighting the fact that a large amount of Jewish
people are high earning professionals and they have no social lives
other than work, which are both not true. Jewish people have a
variety of jobs other than high earning professions such as lawyers
and stockbrokers. This notion of Jews being secured to a few
certain professions is ridiculous and the same as delegating all black
people to the jobs as gangsters or rappers. In the book of Jews and
Money it is written that actually over 700,00 American Jews live
below the poverty line and the most American business leaders are
not Jewish. This fact is not portrayed in the media as it unknown to
most people that Jews can have jobs as trainers or public speakers
because of this common stereotype being ingrained in societies
mind.

Conclusion
Signal The End
It can be back up by fact on how Jews are not all greedy, wealthy,
and have big noses, but these are still seen everyday in society. By
having all the methods of media being political cartoons, news
articles, movies, and TV depict these stereotypes everyday; it directly
and indirectly causes a negative perception of Jew, which has been
ingrained in the brains of societal members.

After you listen to my speech, I want you all to look into yourself and
think if any of these stereotypes that you have were developed from
the media with no actual evidence of the stereotypes being true. I
hope my speech has loosened your dependence on the medias
representation of people and caused you to evaluate how you see
other cultures.
