A stereotype is a commonly held public belief about specific social groups, or types of individuals.Stereotypes can have a negative and positive impact on individuals.Even so-called positive images of Black people can lead to stereotypes about intelligence. One theory as to why people stereotype is that it is too difficult to take in all of the complexities of other people as individuals.Even though stereotyping is inexact, it is an efficient way to mentally organize large blocks of information. Categorization is an essential human capability because it enables us to simplify,predict, and organize our world.These stereotypes often tend to make people to believe it is true
especially to those who don't know the real truth.
