Social Psychology: Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination in the News

Identify a recent news event that depicts stereotypes, prejudice, or discrimination. Provide the article describing the event you have chosen.
Briefly describe the news event and indicate the basis of stereotype, prejudice or discrimination (example, social class, ethnicity, gender, age, race, sexual orientation, or religion).
Apply one of the social psychological theories to explain why an individual/organization in this situation was influenced by stereotypes, prejudice, or discrimination.
How does the level of social diversity in the relevant environment described in the event (e.g., family, school, work, or community) explain why discrimination occurred?
