Stereotyping

Q : Stereotyping is exaggerated generalizations associated with a categorizing system, they go beyond the facts at hand and make claims that usually have no valid basis. It is also something that most people fond difficult to avoid from doing. What do you think?

Indeed, stereotyping is very hard to be avoid especially in our own community. Stereotyping is closely related with people first impression. Basically, this problem happened due to lack of knowledge and experience about someone or in short they are not knowing each other. And people tend to be very judgmental if someone do bad thing even it is on their first time. This also known as ethnocentrism which is mean that people jump to the conclusion and make false assumption due to limited experience about something or someone.
Everyone can't avoid being stereotype. It might be positive and negative stereotype. Sometime people make wrong stereotype and always thing bad about someone by hearing from other before they know each other closely.
We always accept other people stereotype and related to their understanding about someone in different perception.
Although we can't avoid being stereotyping, we need to beware of our own stereotyping and act wisely using our brain on managing it and do not let we being fooled and blind by being too stereotype. Do not let stereotyping harm ourselves.
