Stereotyping



  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.
