Stereotypes in Society

In our Society their are alot of stereotypes on anything for example another group or culture.Their are alot of diffrent cultures, group, and religions in the United States. An example of a stereotype in everyday life is when someone you dislike or even hate does something to you that you don't like. Maybe they are hispanic and you come and say "every hispanic is the same way " when really it could just be that one dipical person. So many stereotypes are inaccurate and are used as a method of scapegoating or to seperate their behavior from yours or anybody elses behavior. When we're stereotyping we also get caught up in the issue of that's what "they do", that's how "those people" are instead of being in touch with our actual feelings of hurt, confusion, feeling left out or any other type of feeling.
