Provide an example of a stereotype you find in your everyday
life. Comment on the experiences of your classmates. Are the

6)
The difference between the act of grouping and the act of
stereotyping would be that when you group someone its
acknowledging the similarities that they share, noticing that
they all have blue eyes, they all gradated from the same college.
grouping would be saying something like, " they all play soccer,
so lets call them the soccer group. it is not an assumption of
similarities. grouping is recognizing the similarities and putting
them together would be an assumption that everyone in a group
has all the same personality and character traits, assuming they
all share a negative idea. if i was to say " all students from the
Bumble Bee school district are thieves" that would be a
stereotype, It is ok to create a group because they do all attend
the school district, but it is an assumption to say they are all
thieves. it cannot be proven and has no valid explanation behind
it. I seem to come across the stereotype that all Black people are
unable to speak proper english. I have had numerous people say
