The first thing that came to my mind at the very begining of this research project was multicultural communication; however, as I began to look for sources related to this topic, my attention turned to stereotypes, a pervasive social misinterpretation. I then decided to do a research paper on the dangers of stereotypes considering the potentially adverse effects that they could do on those upon whom the stereotypes are applied. I also learned more about the negative effects of stereotypes such as mental and psychological impacts, and so on. For this research, I am going to interview a small group of college students of foreign origins on their peronsal encounters with negative stereotypes. The biggest challenge for me so far is the literature review, there are so many different sources available. I have to be selective and synthesize them in a way that it can give credibility to my paper, and in the mean time, to also include my own voice, which is a significant part of this project.
