The Stereotype

Stereotype is a term that we put in a subject as a representation, on the contrary prejudice. It is a label that we put for a subject, mostly the negative side. Not all the stereotypes are negative. Example of stereotype: The Game labeled as ‘violence’. People make prejudice to represent a certain subject even though the prejudice is not 100% correct and exact. Its like when you hear a name or word, you will relate that to something else. It is just a representation that people commonly use it.


Man usually stereotyped as strong because they always go out of their home while woman usually stereotyped as weak because they always be in home to take care of family and to cook. But both of them can be strong or weak. It depends on the ability and characteristics of a person.
