Stereotypes stretch from cultural standpoints, power perceptions, and daily lifestyles/habits that are projected into our everyday lives through social media. They have been ingrained into our brains as efficient ways to separate and understand different social groups and cultures.

According to Lippmann, “stereotypes are ‘pictures in our heads’ that we use to apprehend the world around us” (16). Stereotypes can be formed due to effects of media, as Wood describes media as pervasive, powerful and influential (31).
