Answer preview
Stereotypes remain to be stereotyped. What was perceived as a stereotype in the last century is the same thing even in the century we are living. The understanding of stereotypes is the same. However, there are some insights I have captured. First, I have a new understanding of stereotypes in the sense that there are two types: the positive stereotypes and the negative stereotypes. However, they two have negative impacts on our lives. This new understanding has made me think of stereotypes in this way, rather than concentrating on the mistakes people ( negative stereotype) we need to focus on how different is each ( positive stereotype) – the positive impacts of stereotypes are less compared to the negatives impacts. In my opinion, the best way to deal with stereotypes is to keep them off the picture. I encourage people to stop the idea of prejudgment.
