Stereotypes




   Different cultures, distinct behaviors
 
 








The world is a huge place where people have spread their beliefs, traditions, religions, ways of producing food and much more concepts regarding the human existence on earth. Therefore, around the world exist many cultures which have their own knowledge of how this planet work. Furthermore, since these civilizations manage to survive, they have developed certain characteristic manners which differentiate them from the others. People are different in every single aspect, beginning with the fact that every person has a different context, brain, place to live, etc. However, as time passes by, certain cultures, gain specific reputations which are most commonly called stereotypes.



In this sense, there are some stereotypes which seem to be the most famous in the world. Firstly, Latinos. These “human species” is known for being excellent dancers, “party animals”, which sometimes is very true because there are Latinos who dance even Christmas carols but, sometimes there are Latinos who dance nothing that represents music. Also, they seem to be lazy, which is a bad stereotype. Knowing that most of the people from South America work even harder than in other parts of the world. Secondly, Asians. This east crowd is characterized for taking a lot of selfies. Additionally, it is thought that Asian women are submissive, mostly in Japan according to a study. 

Anyway, these are some ideas people have about certain cultures around the world. As it seems, they might be positive as well as negative. Finally, what people think of Latinos, especially Colombians is kind of fool because only if you visit the country you are talking about, you experience the reality that that country is through. People need to do research in order to judge or point out other parts of the world. If someone says to you that Colombian people are drug dealers, go and find out if what is being said about Colombians is veridical, be critical, be assertive, be a fact person, avoid prejudices. Go and do your research, make up your own stereotype and support it with arguments, not with common ideas.

    Dear student,
    You started mentioning some remarkable aspects about stereotypes and the way people create these ideas (sometimes accurate, some other times not too much) depending on the place and people they visit. However, as you kept developing this paper, the idea that stereotypes are inevitable grew as well. I would like to ask you the following: What leads to the spread of stereotypes, even when we have not visited or presently lived within people from a given culture?

    Regards,
    Jhon
