› To what extent do you agree with the
representations on the map? (give an example)
A lot of the things
on this map are relatively positive. They are just generalizations. So I agree
with some of the things, like if the country says that it is polite, then I will
agree with that. But it is the offensive things that are wrong.
› Do you find this amusing, helpful or
outrageous? (Give reasons for your response)\
I find it amusing.
Just because of some of the things they say, like for France they say that they
spoil their dogs, or for Australia that we are obsessed with sport. I don't think
that this could be considered helpful, unless you were planning on going to a
country and only expecting the stereotypes. I also don't think that it could be
considered outrageous because they mostly say positive things on it.
› What do you think about the comments
about Australia? If you were asked to provide evidence of this what
would you say?
I would say that we aren’t
really no-nonsense. We can take a joke and poke fun at things (ESPECIALLY our
politicians). Some people are obsessed with sport, but not all the people in
Australia will be so upset that they missed the footy game that they cant
function properly. We are reasonably direct, so I wouldn't really disagree with
that, but it isn’t so direct that you feel offended. And we are very friendly.
› How accurate is the title ‘Prejudice
Map’? Or should it be called ‘ Stereotypes Map’? What is the difference between
these two words?
I think that it
should be called the Stereotypes map instead of Prejudice map. I don't think
that it is the objective of this map to discriminate against a certain nation,
it is just there to present the different stereotypes from the various nations.
