Bad Days for South Korea's Type-B Men

Talking Points

With your tutor, conversation partners, or classmates, you may wish to discuss the following:

Do you believe that one's personality is linked to his/her blood type?
Why or why not?
Is it fair to pre-judge a person because of his/her blood type?

Scientists have refuted the claims to connections between personality and blood type.

Why do you think people persist in believing in "pop culture" stereotypes?
Why do you think people are willing to buy books based on unscientific theories put forth by self-proclaimed experts?
Would you buy such a book? Why or why not?

For More Practice

Pretend you are a scientist who has studied blood type and found no connection with personality. Debate the issue with a person who strongly supports the pop culture point of view.

Pretend you are a Type B Man. How can you best deal with negative stereotypes?

Your friend is unfairly prejudicial against Type B Men.

Help her/him change her/his point of view.
