Why do we Stereotype?A stereotype is “...a fixed, over generalized belief about a particular group or class of people.” (Cardwell, 1996).
For example, someone who lives in the country side is uneducated.
One advantage of a stereotype is that it enables us to respond rapidly to situations because we may have had a similar experience before.
One disadvantage is that it makes us ignore differences between individuals; therefore we think things about people that might not be true (i.e. make generalisations).Smash a stereotype.
1.Think of an individual you know from one of the regions we have discussed2.Write down the stereotype3.Then how they subvert it.
