Stereotyping is one of the problems in intercultural
communication. It is generally defined as exaggerated generalizations
associated with a categorizing system; they go beyond the facts at hand and
make claims that usually have no valid basis. In a simply way, it is a claim
that is not a fact and not true. Marginalized groups are groups of people which
often being stereotype. They are poor people, the black people among white,
people who don’t talk the language of theirs. These people are being stereotype
because of their behavior don’t seems familiar among others. Most people didn’t
like the way they behave.
People stereotype because of many reasons. Their curiosity
of others different behavior, people are unable or unwilling to obtain all of
the information we need to make a fair judgment about people or situations so
that is why stereotype is something hard to avoid. For example, in one
investigation people stereotyped black people after only one observation of a
negative behavior called vandalism. It means that they look and see all black
people are doing vandalisms. Thus, people just stereotype based on only a small
matter.
