Stereotypes

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 These sports have either faded in popularity or have been replaced by more modern alternatives.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.

Prududice-A partiality that prevents objective consideration of an issue or situation. Some people may have sound reson for their predudice, but in my experience it is because they do not know all of the facts of a given situation. There may be jealousy ie A feeling of jealous envy (especially of a rival). Make sure that your reasons are sound, that you do have all of the facts, and remember a little bit of acceptance is far better then a lot of aggravation-Unfriendly behaviour that causes anger or resentment

People are encouraged to judge others based on unfounded beliefs about certain groups of people. -Apex

Some people view the rapid multiculturalism as detrimental to the national identity, and are concerned that New Zealand culture will somehow become diluted by the other cultures entering the country.

A lot of money goes toward aiding the assimilation (finding jobs, healthcare, education etc.) of internationals, with some people thinking this money would be better spent on existing citizens.

Some common stereotypes about Tongans include being very large in stature, aggressive or intimidating, and good at rugby. These stereotypes can perpetuate harmful generalizations and overlook the diversity within the Tongan community.

Biases are dispositions against or toward someone or something whereas stereotypes represent one culture's or group's interpretation of another's expected appearance and behavior. At their most innocuous, a bias can be a preference for a certain color of clothes while a stereotype can be an understanding of another culture or group as being fast- or slow-moving or talking.

To change my attitude about a stereotype, I would need consistent exposure to diverse individuals who do not fit the stereotype, along with education and understanding about the harm caused by perpetuating stereotypes. Engaging in open-minded conversations and actively challenging my own beliefs would also be necessary to shift my perspective.

Now I was born in the south and I know this stuff isn't true, but that's what some of my Northern friends think.

because all different culture have different background and values that we need to respect

Stereotyping can effect group relations by making one group feel that they know things about another group, when in fact they do not. Stereotyping mistakenly makes people think that all people of one race, one gender, one age group, or one income bracket are the same. This is not true. It can cause people to expect bad things from someone without a valid reason. It can also cause someone to trust someone without a valid reason.

by breaking down barriers and lettin people explore and learn

Yes, some common stereotypes about people affected by anxiety disorders include being seen as weak, overly emotional, or unable to handle stress. These stereotypes can be harmful and perpetuate misunderstanding about the challenges individuals with anxiety disorders face on a daily basis. It's important to recognize that anxiety disorders are real medical conditions that can impact anyone, regardless of their personality or capabilities.

There are a few, and I suppose it has to do with where you come from.

A general (And quite true one, I must say) is that the Dutch are frugal. A few others include: tall, good teeth, loves soccer, they are all farmers who wear wooden shoes and own windmills, blond and blue eyes, tulips, hates germans and belgians...

They are not, no more than any other group of people.

This prior answer below is an excellent example of stereotypical and offensive racial bigotry and gender/sexism bias, and is totally incorrect:

Blacks typically come from low income households. Low income households generally do not make enough to feed all of their children, so black children are especially hostile because their parents can't afford proper food for them. On another note, Blacks are typically single parents. Black females make bad decisions roughly at the young age of 16 and get impregnated with multiple children. These children, of course, lack all sense of discipline and get ... [okay, THAT's enough!]

See the related question below about why blacks are tough, for more information about bigotry and stereotyping this way.

They are stereotyped as heavy drinkers and fighters, strongly catholic, and as a people who were conquered by the potato. Most people (at least Americans) do not fully understand that the potato famine was caused by British tariffs and lead to the death of around 4 million people--it is a forgotten version of the holocaust caused by the British. Ireland still does not have its independence and has been oppressed for a substantial portion of its history, though right now there is a fragile peace accord.

Stereotypes/labeling can be very devastating to the individual they are aimed at. They are ignorant assumptions of people or groups of people and judging someone just because of their background is extremely wrong and should not be happening so often in this society.

Grouping people involves categorizing individuals based on common characteristics, while stereotyping involves making assumptions or generalizations about individuals based on those categories. Grouping can help understand commonalities and differences, while stereotyping can lead to biases and prejudices.

Californians are known for being very "ahead of their time" so to speak. They are very relaxed and laid back. California is also known for its glamour, and diversity. There's big cities like L.A., San Francisco, and San Diego, wine country in Napa, and tons of beach on the coast.

Stereotypes are mental shortcuts that help people categorize others quickly. They can be formed through personal experiences, cultural influences, and media portrayals. However, stereotypes can lead to oversimplified and often inaccurate assumptions about individuals or groups.

Those listed below aren't really stereotypes of Jewish people. They are myths about Jewish people. Common stereotypes of Jewish people include: big nose, curly hair, good with money, rich, stingy, often saying yiddish phrases.

Most, if not all, of the following lies have been created and perpetuated by anti-Semitic bigots.

Myth-The Jews killed Jesus.

Truth: The Romans killed Jesus. The Jews merely turned him over to the Romans as a criminal.

Myth-The Jews are greedy.

Truth: Though not all Jews follow them, Jewish laws order that the Jews give 10-20% of their income to charitable causes.

It is important to note that Jewish people were restricted from most jobs due to antisemitism, which led to a large number of them becoming merchants and bankers. Due to the nature of the business, one would have to seem "greedy" to become successful in such a job. Because of this history in banking, a few of the richest families in the world are Jewish.

Myth-The Holocaust did not actually happen.

Truth: During the holocaust, Hitler and his armies killed 6 million (6,000,000) unarmed Jews and 5 million (5,000,000) others.

Myth-The Jews are responsible for most or all of the wars in the world.

Truth: Many wars have been caused by people hating and oppressing the Jews; most other wars have nothing to do with Jews.

Myth-The Jews poisoned wells.

Truth: This old, medieval belief has no more credibility than the belief that the world is flat. The Jews themselves needed the wells for drinking-water, the same as everyone else.

Myth-The Jews eat or drink blood.

Truth: The Jewish religion prohibits the consuming of even one drop of blood.

They are from Vietnam. Some of them have Chinese blood. Their cuisine is similar to Chinese cuisine. They don't like being confused with Chinese people. They tend to have darker skin than the Japanese and Korean. Their written language is not calligraphy like the Chinese. They use the basic letters the English language does except they have multiple accent marks. Most of them aren't very tall. Some of them are very nice.

I'm Vietnamese...and that's all I can think of is that some, not most, eat dog.
