Archetype- A model for what a certain group should be like.

Stereotype- An overgeneralized model (both negative and positive) for what something is like. A stereotype is sort of a shortcut for the brain. Ex: If a brain processes the sight of several guys wearing overly baggy jeans and acting a specific way, it will be inclined to attribute those same actions to the next guy seen wearing baggy jeans.
