Learn English meaning of stereotypes

We are all the same at birth, but over our lives, different people learn different ways.

What was dimissed as propaganda years ago can now be watched live on directly posted media outlets like youtube. It’s possible to see actual people, thousands of them, actually chanting for the deaths of others.

What I meant was that some stereotypes are based in reality, in real fears, and not only in false attempts to guide our opinions.  Sometimes the stereotype exists for a reason.

Stereotypes do exist. It is shaped by propaganda, by news, by habit. People don’t leave in the forest, they’re exposed to daily news, daily talks within their own country whose politics, moral issues more or less rubs of of the nation. It can be positive like in democratic countries where the rights of the citizens are very much respected and can be negetive like in dictatorship regime where most suck up to their leader, put monuments for him and all that lie. Only few, can think on their own and oppose that. These people are heroes! But let’s believe in that we’re all human that is one common thing among us. At least that’s what what was given to us at our birth…there’re some basics that destroys stereotypes- love to each other, respect each each other and living in harmony and peace. Isn’t that simple!
? People, c’mon!

Hey Mahtab.

“But there are many different characters in my country and we dont have the same believes or behaviors but many generalize us!”

We’ve seen footage of THOUSANDS of Iranians chanting in your streets for our deaths, have you EVER seen thousands of Americans chanting for yours?

Don’t blame us for how you are seen, you do that to yourselves.

I had got some stereotypes about Muslim,i am sorry to say this but hope i didn’t offended people here.Because i was influenced by international news,When you open TV ,everyday all about terrorist attack,nuclear wapon,how many innocent people were died from terrorist attack.Regarding to Muslim i had alarms in my head and subconciously protect myself from getting hurt.It like advertisement affect you don’t wanna rely too heavily on stereotypies on the contrary it backfired on you.

Here was a perfect place to know people as you dig deep the truth was most Muslims are kind and nice.

Thanks Sienceboy!

Now I feel better!

Of course I think we all have the same feelings about some nations while in every country you can find good or bad people! 

Welcome back!

I hope you dont have crazy weeks anymore! ;-)

Thanks Shoba, I am finally back :D I had a few crazy weeks. 

Mahtab, it’s same for all Muslim countries, not just Iran. People believe what they see in movies and on the news and then generalize all Muslims as terrorists. Not fair, not fair at all. But I don’t blame them, I blame he media.

Aw, thanks, ScienceBoy. I’m happy to know that you have no doubts about my eating habits. 

It was nice to hear from you after a long time. Take care!

I wish to all of us to be stereotyped only in good sense. :)

To find good things of the nation are much harder than to shout out about the shortcomings of the nation. 

Let’s generalize each other only in positive way. IMHO ;)

One of the outstanding characteristic our brain is classifying and making everything in groups, so the people is not an exception of this! We make group of people with some True or false characteristics.

We want it or not, we do that and most people in different situations are victims of a stereotype, most of our belief about people is unfair, hope we manage our nature and finally people live in peaceful world without stereotypes!

Hmmm!

I can say we are streotyped by other people in the most of countries because of our religion and politics background!

The global preconceived notions based on News makes many problems for my people who live in other countries!

But there are many different characters in my country and we dont have the same believes or behaviors but many generalize us!

On the other hand people judge eachother here too based on appearance and the kind of wearing specially about women!

Anyway this lesson was useful to me because I will try to dig deeper to know the people I meet in virtual or real world! :-)

On the one hand,  stereotypes make us to see the difference… we can see some common features which help us to size up about something…it is just only about surface idea.

But on the other hand, I can’t get full idea, for example, of a person based only on stereotypes.. because when you get to know someone closer stereotypes break..

i cant express myself in english,but actually  i have a lot of words aboat srereotye. respect different stereotypes and we must learn to tolerance the diffrence,then u will find we are all the same…..All of people have the same feelings and emotions,another saying is ONE WORLD,ONE DREAM.

i agree

yes it ot a cat

Sterotypesare hard so I like it.

I can say that Muslims in our country are in big percentage victim of stereotypes, and because of that we must to work much harder than
Christians, to make some succes

Shoba we all know you know how to eat.  We have no doubt ;)

Well, generally, we are stereotyped as superstitious, backward thinking and over-sentimental people. 

And in our community women are generalized as a species that knows only how to cook and take care of the children. This type of stereotyping infuriates me because I know how to eat too. Haha! 

Considering to the above expression (Stereotype) As an humanbeing we must respect to every people around the globe, no matter what are their religions,skin,tradition,Accent and whatever.
