Answer:
Social psychologist, Claude Steele stated that “Stereotypes are the one way in which history affects the person’s present life.”
According to him, our race, gender and age are responsible for developing negative stereotypes. When people find themselves in a situation where their identity is relevant for the situation, they are often misjudged or ill-treated.
Negative stereotypes can affect the life quality of the older generation and can lead to major losses to the society.
Stereotypes can also psychologically cause the individual to act in the manner which is consistent with the stereotype.
