What is your definition or perception of what a stereotype is?

Discuss the potential consequences of stereotypes on individuals and society.

STEREOTYPES Stereotypes are widely held but oversimplified and
generalized beliefs or ideas about a particular group
of people, things, or characteristics. These beliefs or
ideas often involve assumptions, judgments, or
preconceived notions based on limited information or
biased perceptions.

Stereotypes can be either positive or negative, and

they can be based on factors such as race, gender,
age, nationality, religion, or other characteristics.
Stereotypes can lead to unfair judgments, biases, and
discrimination against individuals or groups, and
they can hinder understanding and empathy.
