Stereotypes



Stereotype... Everybody know, what is it. Do you remember your childhood? Certainly you watched some cartoons and from the very beginning you knew, who was saint and who was villain. They were like this:
                       

So this are stereotypes.
A stereotype is a thought that may be adopted about specific types of individuals (skaters), ethnic groups (Jews) or certain ways of doing things (a cop buying donuts), but that belief may or may not accurately reflect reality.
Mostly are stereotypes used to express bad things and there are problems, for example: people from a stereotyped group can't joint other groups, can't succeed in activities, they are judged (even if they try to separate their behaving from a stereotyped group) and many other problems. Often, there are racial prejudices.
But, there are good stereotypes too. In your work, where you know what to do without long thinking how to do it. 
Some people try to change other people opinions on stereotypes. There are meeting, where meet two families: one home and one foreign family. This way they try to forget about stereotypes.

What about you? Do you know any stereotypes in your life? Is your life stereotype?
You can read more about stereotype on Wikipedia websites, or just find it on Google, it's up to you.
 Please, leave me a comment and your opinion on stereotypes, I will be pleased.  

Btw, this is my first blog, so I hope I made it right :D
