-My stereotypes about Congolese people.
The children on my draw is wearing a father`s t- shirt, too big for his little size, he is barefoot playing with stones, but it doesn’t happy, he has a empty glace because he feel so hungry and in this moment he would like the stones will be breads.
When I think in DR Congo, come to my mind words like suffering, poverty, malnutrition, gender violence, resources mismanagement because of corruption. In the other hand, I can think on a beautiful river, beautiful landscapes and a lot of diversity.
Now, when I think on Congolese people, I imagine black people wear old clothes, dirty, barefoot, and hungry.
In my draw, there are many stereotypes, first, Congolese people are poor, they had hunger the majority of time because they don’t have food. Second, Congolese people is unhappy, even children have a empty glace. I think these stereotypes come from massive media, the news on the newspaper about the conflicts on DR Congo, the generalization about surveys or index, in general the lack of information search by me about the real aspects of the culture.
