"What stereotypes do people have about you? What stereotypes do you have about other people? Are stereotypes beneficial or harmful? Why do you think this?"
A lot of people tend to judge me by my first impression, which usually is taken as a frigid girl. Not that it is wrong of them, to take first impression important, but I tend to be the opposite when I strike up a friendship. I become a loud, I suppose, and a silly person when I feel comfortable with certain people.
On the other hand, there are some stereotypes that I tend to have about others. I tend to think that if a person is amazingly talented at art, they must be horrible at math. One further stereotype would be 'celebrities tend to be stupid', I suppose. Although I often find exceptions, I tend to keep on judge in certain way.
I think stereotypes are most definitely harmful, because it seems to create a wall between people, and blocks them further apart, with prejudice and misconception.
