Write a 400-500 word paper in response to the following prompt:
The term “stereotype” originates with a fixed steel plate used in printing, just like the term cliché which originates in the kind of stamp that validates a passport. A stereotype or cliché can’t be altered to meet the demands of an ever-evolving, ever-changing historical reality. What was true yesterday is perhaps not true today.
Consider how Vogel alters our stereotypes of EITHER old age OR prostitution in The Oldest Profession.
Note all of these instructions and reminders:
You may not consult outside sources, including those on the web, in the completion of your paper. You may draw on ideas that appear on the course site, including the discussion board, but you may not merely repeat or rephrase those ideas without adding to them substantially. Remember that your work is being submitted using Turnitin, a tool designed to help detect inappropriate use of other people’s ideas and wording.
