avoid stereotypes given to you by someone
else. Accept as fact only those things that you
can prove.
• Broaden your friend base. Befriend everyone.
Really listen and talk to people of all different
types and only form opinions about who they
are and not about some group or ethnicity
they may be a part of.
14. • Don't take for granted any opinion that pops
into your head. Step outside of the situation
and look at the big picture. By looking at all
sides, you will be able to come to your own
opinion without blindly following one side or
another.
• Understand that everyone is different. Treat
others as you would have them treat you by
waiting to form opinions until you know a
particular person or group.
15. • It's not fair to stereotype a whole group of
people based on one person you don't like.
• It is easy to jump to conclusions about people,
but being able to avoid stereotypes is more
rewarding.
