Stereotyping happens when people have certain beliefs and the can't accept the odd things they see. Children start to stereotype when they're young or just a baby. Older siblings, parents, or grandparents influence them. They usually say, "candy is bad for your teeth" or "never talk to strangers.” When you become older, you would start to break these beliefs by eating candy or just by meeting other people. Not all strangers are dangerous, people you meet when you were young were once strangers, but time can make a difference. People you have first met were once strangers, but after a period of time, that stranger might become your best friend. When you first look at someone by their appearance, you would automatically assume that they are very strange or dangerous. You cannot determine someone just by their look because "looks can be deceiving.” The personality of a person can change your consideration about them. I do not think stereotyping is right because everyone has their own beliefs and their own peculiar lifestyle. Although I am stereotypical, sometimes I would determine other peers or adults just by the way they dress, talk, and their body language. Others have probable been stereotypical to me, but that’s the way they think and I can’t do anything to stop them from thinking from that perspective. Those people presumably don’t understand me, but time could make a HUGE difference. I still think that it wrong to judge people by their looks and their first impressions. Not everyone has time to explore the inner personalities of every stranger. Being stereotypical can hurt other’s feeling and their self-esteem. People would try to change their outer looks, just so other people would like them. Their self-esteem could be put down when others make comments about them. If everyone in this world looks or acts the same way, our world would be full of boredom and with no excitement. Although one person can stop being stereotypical, it does make difference.
