Personal Experience Of Living With Stereotypes

Living with Stereotypes Stereotypes have been around for a long time. These are usually carried away with negativity, in other words, many people that are attacked with stereotypes usually get angry. Everyone has experienced or will experience a feeling of being stereotyped. It is very common, the way a person speaks, acts, dresses, looks, or even the food he or she eats, can make him or her fall into being stereotyped. Sometimes, a certain stereotype becomes extremely common that many people start to believe that it is indeed a fact. However, it is obvious that a single stereotype, does not define a person. No one should be afraid of being himself because people categorize him with stereotypes. A person should never feel
like he or she must change something in his or her life to satisfy today’s society. Whether it is the way he dresses or the way she speaks, one should always refrain from spitting out comments with negativity against them. It is hard not to point out that stereotypes are undoubtedly potent; however, they are potent because everyone has a mindset of categorizing people regarding their aspects. This is one of the biggest problems today, we are being stabbed with stereotypes on a daily basis. Will that make me change the way I am? Of course. . . not! I would never feel embarrassed of the way I look, dress, speak, or even feel a sense of frightening to claim my nationality. No one should change any aspects of his or her life to please others. On the other hand, the change should start with one, one shall not fret about what others believe; one shall not categorize people because of their looks.
