Stereotyping.

Stereotyping and human cannot be separated. It seems to have become a daily routine for people who always think negative. Stereotyping and first impression are different. People tend to judge someone by looking it at first time. Example, if we see someone in untidy clothes, we call she/he is lazy. This is first impression. For stereotyping, basically it happens when a group or societies agree about something. Example, Chinese are rich and smart.  How does stereotyping works? The answer is, it based on age, sex, race, sexual orientation, occupation and physical abilities.

From my observation, I can say that stereotyping is really hard to avoid. It is true that some stereotypes bring positive meaning. But, how about if it brings negative meaning?  However, this bad habit can be stopped if we know the right way. First, let people in. Get to know them if you are wondering about someone that seems a bit out of sorts. Say hello and start to contact with them. 

Besides that, throw away our negative mind. When we see a black people, what comes to our mind? Are they gangster? Or drug dealer? When you see something that causes you to make an automatic assumption about them, take a moment and think positive. Find something about them that is wonderful.

There are many bad habits that we can see in society nowadays such as stereotype, ethnocentrism, prejudice and many more. We should know how these bad habits work and avoid it. The most important thing, just be yourself.
