Among people stereotypes occur everywhere we go, we're all defenseless to stereotypes. Sometimes as an individual, we are faced with situations that can find our own selves judging a particular group of people. Stereotypes can be either positive or negative, when we think of stereotypes, the first thing that comes to mind is negativity. Every person, no matter what age, are held to their own opinions. What is Stereotyping? A stereotype is the way individuals group other people, usually called by a name, which have no relevance to that individual personally, just based off first impression. Stereotypes can affect a person's emotions, self-confidence, and their social lives.
On the other hand, we get criticized about what we wear on a daily basis, how we act, what we look it, what music we listen to, and who we socialize with. People are also ridiculed by their personal self being, or any flaws that you might see on the outside. Humans have this social scale where we have to set the scale high, even if we can't pursue that potential. People are taught to just be who they are, so how can someone be themselves when they're being judged? If we go up to a person and say to the person that he or she is a bum, just from the way they look, that is completely wrong. A bum is typically an individual who is homeless and doesn't have a lot, or if any money at all. We don't know if they're homeless and poor by what they wear, we are simply placing people in these stereotypical groups that could be completely wrong. Our words and actions are being used in the wrong way, for example, when somebody is isolating themselves from society doesn't mean they have no friends, maybe it's because they are tired of the negative stereotypes they're faced with. .
