Stereotypes are generalizations, or assumptions made about the characteristics of a person. Stereotyping occurs in our society when it comes to a person's abilities, beliefs, race, age, and much more. From my point of view, this occurs often nowadays only because we have been influenced by our past generations and we keep on allowing it to happen. Everyone has been stereotyped once in their life, and when that happens, it causes a never ending cycle of stereotyping. Some people do not mind being stereotyped, but some get deeply offended by it. Stereotypes will constantly be presented to us, which will forever make it widely known in our society.
