S.T.E.R.E.O.T.Y.P.I.N.G



In my opinion, STEREOTYPING is about of our thought and making assumption towards someone or a group of people by judging based on their appearance, characteristics, heritage, skin color and others without knowing them. Usually they judge from the negative side. That is what we called Stereotyping.

Being stereotype same with prejudice and discrimination. People might not be realize that they are being stereotype slowly.  But it is something that most of people find it difficult to avoid from doing. They are still judge one another and making bad assumption even though they know they should not do it as nobody is perfect in this planet. They should remind themselves.



There are some common stereotype examples such as being racist with the Africans people because of their skin type of color, this is what the Americans do. Being stereotype between gender just like people always said men can do something better than women and men always think women is a weak person. Stereotyping also exist in a group of individuals like people think that all teenagers are rebel and not easy to be teach. All these thing is wrong. 


I do believes that most of us are still being stereotyping these day and make it one of their behavior. They tend to be stereotyping beside looking at the good side. Negative thinking making negative assumption. Stereotyping is usually bad minded and does not always be right. Sometimes the person is better than us but because of this type of thinking, we reject them from the first glimpse.

Whatever it is, people always choose to be stereotyping. It is normal for them even though it will give lots of badness. 

We should look at ourselves in front of the mirror before started to judge people around us. All the human beings is the same. The differences between us is our belief, culture, knowledge and others that may lead to the cross thinking and misunderstanding about someone. As a one of the God's creature, we cannot blame others why they are being like that, why people chose to be like that. Maybe there is a lot of question in our mind about someone, we still cannot judge them unless we are God. Because everybody have their own rights too.

So, by trying to avoid being stereotyping, you should not look at others' weakness, but try to figure out why they are choose to be like that and do not making any perception towards what they are doing until you started to knowing them :)
