The document discusses stereotyping and how it can damage people. It provides examples of common stereotypes about appearance and behavior. Stereotyping can lead to bullying and scapegoating of certain groups. While society and media often encourage stereotypes to sell products or ideas, complete elimination of stereotyping may not be possible but attitudes can be improved by promoting openness and treating others as you wish to be treated. Self-evaluation suggests room for improvement in debating skills such as speaking clearly, being confident, and not getting nervous.

jeans etc.
