Stereotypes ...
Based on peoples' perspective of the world, we all believe majority rules, right? If a group of people "vote" on the same idea being correct, we all kindof jump into the same idea and believe in it aswell.Well, I think stereotypes are so widely known because of the "broadcast" they get worldwide. TV News reports, school gossip, Website postings, blogs, news papers, text messages, phone calls, etc; all these sorces allow people to retain the information other people are portraying. In my opinion our generation believes too much, too easily. Now a days, you can send a message saying something completely inaccurate to someone, and that same message will be relayed to someone within the hour. Some stereotypes are true, yes ... but then it leads to people thinking EVERYONE in the category is the same way. Womens sports like softball, men sports like wrestling, the type of clothing you wear, and things you say can be blamed on you being a "rasist". Everything you can possibly do or say or act has a stereotype, that people believe, attached to it.
