Read below to learn more about Chile during the Cold War

In 1970, Chile held a democratic election for President. Salvador Allende Gossens, who ran for President on a communist platform, emerged as the winner. Neither Richard Nixon, (the President of the UNited States at the time), nor US companies with businesses in Chile wanted to see an Allende presidency, fearing his communist sympathies.

Stereotypes Today!

Group A: Muslims

Group B: Women

Media Source B1: Showing the stereotype that women are extremely emotional:

Rapper T.I. made the following comments about the US presidential race: 
“Not to be sexist but, I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman,” he said. “Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But the president? It’s kinda like, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally – they make very permanent, cemented decisions – and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke. [Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain’t ready yet. I think you might be able to the Loch Ness Monster elected before you could [get a woman].”
