Question

Mention two drawbacks of stereotype​

Answer 1

Answer:

A stereotype is a fixed, over generalized belief about a particular group or class of people.

Drawbacks:.

It makes us ignore differences between individuals; therefore we think things about people that might not be true.

By stereotyping we infer that a person has a whole range of characteristics and abilities that we assume all members of that group have. Stereotypes lead to social categorization, which is one of the reasons for prejudice attitudes which leads to in-groups and out-groups.
