Stereotypes

A fallacy is a false or mistaken belief or argument, while a stereotype is an oversimplified belief about a group of people based on characteristics like race, gender, or nationality. Fallacies are errors in reasoning, whereas stereotypes are generalizations that may not hold true for every individual in a group.

Because most people don't understand the problem they face their self so it's easier to judge someone else and think they know everything ,when really they are in the same boat ,they don't want other to judge them and be made fun of or put down for their faults as well, so it's easier to hurt someone else instead of them feeling the hurt they have had done to them. Answer I think the people with the biggest issues are the ones who stand around judging everyone else in a social situation. Low self esteem or insecurity are usually present and they have to make themselves feel better by putting others down.

Stereotypes can be beneficial to a used car dealer if they match the positive attributes customers associate with used car dealers, such as being knowledgeable, trustworthy, and providing good deals. However, negative stereotypes can harm the dealer's reputation and drive potential customers away. It is essential for dealers to capitalize on positive associations and actively work towards challenging negative stereotypes in the industry.

Stereotyping is the process of categorizing individuals into specific groups based on preconceived beliefs or assumptions about characteristics they may possess. This can lead to oversimplified and often inaccurate generalizations about people based on factors such as race, gender, or other characteristics. Stereotyping can result in bias and discrimination towards individuals who do not fit these perceived stereotypes.

An example of a stereotype is the belief that all Asians are good at math. This stereotype oversimplifies the diversity within Asian cultures and ignores the individual abilities and interests of each person.

Legal profiling involves using factors like behavior or location to guide investigative decisions, while illegal racial profiling involves targeting individuals based solely on their race or ethnicity. Legal profiling is based on objective criteria and reasonable suspicion, whereas illegal racial profiling is discriminatory and violates civil rights.

The jock stereotype is a negative stereotype aimed at (primarily male) athletes.

Jocks usually play a popular sport like football, basketball, soccer, lacrosse or any other sport that requires aggression.

Granted, not all athletes are jocks, but all jocks are athletes. In school environments jocks are often stereotyped as being unintelligent, arrogant, mean, and aggressive. Nevertheless, they are good-looking, charming, admired for their athletic ability, and popular within their social circle, especially with girls. They are known for bullying people who are less popular or athletic than them, such as "nerds."

Stereotypes are created by gendered products and brands by someone looking at a new brand or less expensive brand and thinking that it is not as good as all of the other brands that are more expensive!! Just because everyone else says oh that brand is horrible doesn't mean that you might not like it! Try it and give it a chance! Also don't spread stereotypes about brands because if they get bad enough factories could get shut down and people could lose their jobs!! So stereotypes are your opinion wen you see someone or something!! Example: You could see a rich person and automatically think oh ya i bet they brag alot!! But you don't know that, and as my Elementary Teachers use to say "Don't judge a book by it's cover!!"

Yes they are, and I would say that it is not always a 'distortion' in a negative sense. It is also not dishonesty. Our memories and the ways we relate them can be shaped by our present situations and needs. For many, "telling our story" can be a very rich and healing experience, and it is surprising how a change in our story telling can bring about changes on other levels. Narrative Therapy is really an outgrowth of cognitive-behavioral work.

Well, look around on television shows, commercials, movies. there is The joker, The Jock, The strong and silent type, The big shot, the action hero, and.. the buffoon! The Joker is pretty much someone who once was the "class clown." A humorous guy, making people laugh is like his living! The Jock :Avoids being soft at all times and is very aggressive, using his muscles to impress women and to scare away other men... what does he have to lose? ]EX: John Tucker Must Die.... Jesse Metcalf The strong and silent type: Hmm pretty much an average guy. Seems to attract women.. but sadly keeps things to himself. Can be very rough and sensitive depending on the time. EX: Spiderman :P The big shot: sees too much in himself and the popular one in high school. He is also portrayed as a player. ): EX: Matthew McConaughey in How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days The action hero: Strong but not always silent, often angry and violent behavior are hommie frys!:P EX:THE OLDER BROTHER FROM THE OUTSIDERS(greasers)darry and darrl

The Buffoon: A father figure, lighthearted and hopeless when it comes to parenting or dealing with children. Ex. Eric Candam from 7th Heaven

it originally stood for independent music labels but nowadays it is defined by a type of music somewhere between rock and pop. Indie singers and bands have certain ethics like sticking to their roots and not embracing the celebrity money-grabbing culture. An Indie band is said to 'sell out' if they let their music be used corporately e.g on an advert or to be motivated by money rather than making music. Indie bands always write their own songs. There are also some articles on wikipedia and in urban dictionary that may help :)

Slave stereotypes have influenced the portrayals of African Americans today in the way that most of the stereotypes we have now are based on those. The stereotypes have never changed much: they're stupid, they can't comprehend as much, and they're of a lower class. While these stereotypes may be true for some of this race, it is definitely not true for all. Because these stereotypes first existed and were never completely shot down, they have carried through to today. Because these have been preserved through time and commonly brought up, it still effects how African Americans in general are presented.

Some sports that were around 100 years ago but do not exist today include tug of war as an Olympic sport, singlestick fencing, and roque (a variation of croquet). These sports have either faded in popularity or have been replaced by more modern alternatives.

A Countertype

"a representation that challenges traditional stereotype associations of a group, people or places."

A way of catching and keeping attention about simplified generalizations is what a hook about a stereotype is. For example, the presenter indicates what the inaccurate, incomplete, mass-applied "information" is and then shows the limits of applicability and relevance.

1. Confirmation bias: People tend to seek information that confirms their existing beliefs and stereotypes, while ignoring or discounting information that does not align with their beliefs. This bias leads individuals to selectively process and remember stereotype-reinforcing information.

2. Cognitive dissonance: When people encounter stereotype-inconsistent information, it creates a psychological discomfort. To reduce this discomfort, individuals may either reject the information, reinterpret it to fit their existing stereotypes, or avoid situations that challenge their beliefs.

3. Stereotype threat: When individuals are aware of negative stereotypes associated with their social group, they may feel pressured to conform to those stereotypes. This pressure can lead to performance anxiety and a self-fulfilling prophecy, where individuals end up behaving in ways that align with the stereotype, thus maintaining it.
