Stereotype: When we believe that people belonging to particular groups based on religion, wealth, language are bound to have certain fixed characteristics or can only do a certain type of work, we create a stereotype.
- Stereotype is the fixed notion or image of a group/person without any regard for their individuality. This has no rational or scientific basis.
- Common types of stereotypes include gender, race, sexual, social-class, (dis)ability, age, nationality, political, and religious stereotypes.
- These prejudices can get in the way of people getting jobs, lead to social exclusion, and create arbitrary in-groups and out-groups.
