Stereotypes are generalizations, or assumptions that people make about the characteristics of all members of a group based on an image (often wrong) about what people in that group are like.
One study of stereotypes revealed:
Americans:
- Generally considered to be friendly, generous, and tolerant, but also arrogant, impatient, and domineering.
Asians:
- Considered astute and alert, but reserved.
Obviously, not all Americans are friendly and generous and not all Asians are astute.
If you suppose you know what a person is like and don't look at each person as an individual, you are likely to make errors in your estimates of a person's character.
Every day, in school people come talk to us about other people and we create an image, probably wrong, of that person and it shouldn’t happen. People should, in the first place, meet each other and then take the conclusions about the person but only after they met each other.
