Stereotype

2. Stereotyping is exaggerated generalizations associated with a categorizing system, they go beyond the facts at hand and make claims that usually have no valid basis. However, it is also something that most people find difficult to avoid from doing. What do you think?

Stereotyping is defined as an oversimplified usually a perspective, attitude people hold towards those other people or anything. Various categories of stereotyping are age, sex, race, sexual orientation, religions, and physical ability. The most stereotypes are sex and race.

From my opinion, stereotype is something that we cannot avoid because it is already in our daily life and the generation back then has been using it and that is why the next negation does it too. It is a cycle where it cannot stop. It is also because most people tend to make assumptions before knowing the truth it is like the culture to make a guess and have assumptions towards it. This happens when we are curious about something then we tend to have stereotype thinking over it. For instance, where people usually though if a car on the road is driving slowly, people usually have stereotype it is a woman driver as they have a thinking that women cannot drive well.

In addition, people always stereotype if a younger woman get married with an older man that they are married for wealth. Last but not least, those stereotype because people like to judge without knowing the actual reason. It is not good to judge people by appearance and their attitude as it does not represent them.

Last but not least, we as human need to avoid doing this stereotype as it will lead bad habits to ourselves. Many instances, people who are always does stereotype is usually proven wrong. Because, everyone did not have the same thinking like us, maybe if someone from a different race than yours, and yet you have stereotype on their race, you must have stereotype of it to everyone who is in the race? No, you cannot do that. Different peoples, different behaviour. Do not simply judge without asking as it will lead to misunderstanding. Who are we to judge people? Therefore, we cannot have bad stereotype to everyone, as they know themselves and they know what they are doing.
