TYPICAL STEREOTYPES

Definition of Stereotype:

“A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image

or idea of a particular type of person or thing”

• “Brainless” • “Stupid” • “You’re just getting your ‘Mrs.’

degree” • “Not hard” • “Stuck-Up” • “They take the easy way in life”

Why do we stereotype?

“9 in 10 college students say it is more important to find a major

that is interesting no matter how practical it is”
