In this article, Falko Goetz
was mainly blamed for the failure of Vietnam football team at the 26th SEAGames held in November, 2011 in Indonesia.Due to this reason, the VFF decided to end the contract with him. However, except for the
leading of the coach, the Vietnam Football Federation should consider many other factors which can result in the poor performance of a football team such as team
spirit or players’ ability.

Trả lờiXóahic, mình đăng ảnh rùi mà ko bít tại sao ko hiện lên nhỉ.
Trả lờiXóaPersonally, I suppose that in the item 3, it's also a STEREOTYPE for many years, NOT ONLY IN MODERN WORLD :D
Trả lờiXóaAnway, your analysis is clear and easy to understand. Nice ^^
Trả lờiXóahi Trang, thank for ur comment.However, i think this proverb is a negative opinion and a discrimination in thinking about gender => "prejudice". This means people think having a boys is more important than girls. It is not a mental image of a group based on opinion without regard to individual differences.Therefore, i think it is not stereotype
Trả lờiXóaYour entry on the whole is good ^^. Nevertheless, I have some comments: in the item 2, it think there is also stereotype about woman wearing bikini. It can be understood that white sexy woman wear bikini better than black women. In the case of item 3, i think it's prejudice and sex discrimination.
