Weekly Written Analysis 3

Debates about the Somali-American community have been on TV for the last one year. Many young Somalis were arrested in Minneapolis by authority for suspecting of supporting Somali extremist groups in Somalia. These reports result many people have perceived bad images about the Somali-Americans and they believed that the Somalis are violence people. Many individuals ask themselves why few young guys trying to join the extremist in Somalia would determine the image of the community.  Many Somalis want to go to Somalia for visiting their families and friends have cancelled their trips because they feel unsafe. This particular issue creates a stereotypical image that affects Somali community in US. This stereotyping also affects the attributes of other communities toward Somalis. No doubt, many Somali parents want their children not adapt other culture. They want their children to keep the value of their beliefs and culture, whic creates stereotyping and makes them not to integrate with other communities. The   Stereotyping style increases the differences between the diverse communities.

The Somali leaders have mobilized to eliminate theses stereotypes by cooperating with authority, educating young people, and creating positive relationships between the Somali community and other communities.  The culture background reflects the broad range of our lives; I believe the negative stereotype has long lasting effects, and the best way to eliminate theses bias or false stereotype images is to promote programs for integration of diverse communities to one another
