stereotype presentation

Stereotype: Sociology. a simplified and standardized conception or image invested with special meaning and held in common by members of a group. I defined the word stereotype because I noticed that when we were presenting that some people didn’t know what a stereotype was. I think that the presentation went pretty well, I believe that we all stereotype or fall under a stereotype of our own. For example while doing the presentation I found out that I look like a “rapper” or some one that listens to “rap music”. On the other hand if I see someone wearing all black clothes, tight shirt, pants and the shirt has some weird heavy metal band I would think that person is emo (emotional). I don’t think that people mean to stereotype on purpose it just happens. I suppose it is the way society raised us. Stereotype and racism I think goes hand in hand because most people are racist with out even knowing it, people don’t mean to be, its just the way we are.
