Stereotyping




Stereotyping could be defined a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. People likely to hold stereotyping comment on things based on their own point of view.


In my opinion, we as human love make stereotyping judgment. We have been practicing stereotype concept to differentiate people based on their image, action and behavior. Moreover, this stereotyping scenario is influence by culture. However, the belief that we derive from our stereotype point of view may not accurately reflect the reality. Sometime what we see doesn't as it seems and it could surprise us in a positive or negative way.




The stereotyping concept has been cycling among human for ages and it has it own unique function. Moreover, due to the advantage of stereotype it help us to respond rapidly to situations because we may had similar experience before. Where else the disadvantage of stereotype it make us ignore the differences between individuals. Therefore we think things about people that might not be true. We tend making generalizations through the behavior that an individual present publicly. For example, when a women speak harsh and do man jobs we often think she is masculine but she isn't.
