As odd as it sounds, people can and have suffered discrimination and bias just from the sound of their name. Historically, individuals possessing a Hispanic (Largest minority group in US)sounding surname could subject them to different treatment,especially in education and employment.
and more recently, after 9/11, having a middle-eastern sounding name can raise an eyebrow.
But a recent study out of the University of Florida demonstrated that black students with certain exotic sounding names are often overlooked by gifted school programs because of their names.
Whether this is an issue of racial prejudice or socio-economic class bias, the actual impacts of this cultural phenomenon are very real.
Such boys and girls suffer in terms of the quality of attention and instruction they get in the classroom because teachers expect less from children with names that sound like they were given by parents with lower education levels, and these lower expectations become a self-fulfilling prophecy
The passage reveals the relationship between one’s personality and one’s name. Names can greatly affect people’s life. On the one hand, good names give people more self-confidence, establish favorable images and promote social status. On the other hand, names result in prejudices against people both in their daily contacts with others and in classroom activities. So if your name doesn’t suit you, you should change it as soon as possible. |
