Stereotype?

A normal human being can't avoid being stereotype. Me myself too, have my on stereotype towards certain people. Stereotype is actually part of our everyday life. We hear and make stereotypes everyday and everywhere. Every person, male or female, young or old, is labelled with either positive or negative stereotypes. Stereotype is when we group and labelled each other. But sadly, usually it doesn't have any valid basis.

Perhaps this because we have been taught on stereotype since we were born. We were born, raised and learned stereotype from our parents. There for, stereotype has become a habit for us. Which is why most people can't avoid to have stereotype and stop from doing so. In fact, some people might not even realize they often have stereotype on people. Because they think that labelling people and make assumption without valid reason or evidence is a normal thing.

Aside that, stereotype was also made because human beings likes to categorize things. It is natural occurrence of our brain to categorize things and to be stored in memories so that it is easy to be remembered. However, this should be done in a positive way, not the other way around.

Since we cannot avoid to do so, we should find a healthy way in managing stereotype that would not bring negativity in our life or others.
