Stereotypes

People are judged a lot throughout the world. This is called stereotyping. A stereotype is a commonly held popular belief about specific social groups or types of individuals. Stereotypes often start off as a belief about someone that is then said about a similar person. This is almost never true about the other person but people still believe it.
 

There are good and bad stereotypes though. A good stereotype is a positive belief about a group while a bad stereotype is a negative or hurtful belief about a group. Even though I think stereotypes are bad all together, good ones are kind of okay. As I said earlier, stereotyping is all around the world. Since I only believe is some good stereotyping, I have a few for you. I will start of with my home country, America.  Us Americans are told that we live to work and have lots of freedom.  Then I will go to Hindus where they are said to be the best people in the world. Next are Hispanics who are said to be very hardworking and loving people. Second to last, we have East Asian people who are told to have the most desirable women and very smart men. Lastly, we have British people who are said to speak the best English. In conclusions, stereotypes are used every throughout the world, whether they are good or bad. To be careful or safe, to me, you should always avoid stereotypes because all you are doing is judging a book by it's cover. The only way you should use a stereotype is by researching it until you make it a fact.
