What is stereotype? It is fair to do some Stereotypes?
Until now the society keeps using some Stereotypes, but as so many things some people do not realize the meaning of the words and the power that can have some ideas. Cardwell defines this word as “a fixed, over-generalized belief about a particular group or class of people.” So, every time when someone thinks the way that person could react, it can illustrate the way the folks' stereotype. Nowadays the people are enough buried to prioritize one’s life and use the stereotype and interact with the people they want, and Mcleod states that “The use of stereotypes is a major way in which we simplify our social world; since they reduce the amount of processing (i.e. thinking) we have to do when we meet a new person.” In a general view maybe will be right to minimize some of the time when we generalize the people we recently met, but, why cannot take the time to meet new people and forget about the Stereotypes?
Furthermore, sometimes as the time pass by and people worry about their own things, it is common to forget how the words are hurtful and can be wrong as it says Plous " Stereotypes are not only harmful in their own right; they do damage by fostering prejudice and discrimination.” One of the examples that can be showed it can be referred with the Plous’s words “After all, if encyclopedia readers are led to believe that Black people have intellectual limitations, why to spend time and money educating Black children?” soon with this illustration can be showed that it is important to have in mind that as human being, it is impossible to engage the definitions that are saying by the society, with the person that is being compared with the words that everybody says.
And, what do you think?
