Examples Of Stereotyping

340 Words2 Pages
Stereotyping occurs in the subconscious. It marks the idea that all things in a set group are the same. In other words, when someone makes an assumption, generalization or judgement as a result of a smaller subgroup of behaviors that occurred within a larger group. For example, someone who has never been to a gym to exercise says the reason they don’t go is because “all people who go to the gym are thin”. They believed this because they saw a promotion for the gym on a billboard, the television and on a flyer and the people were all thin.
Prejudice is a conscious learned attitude, belief or thought about a group of people which causes someone or a group of people to have a prejudgment about said group (usually occurs as a negative thought)
