Detailed explanation-1: -Question 2: What is stereotype? Answer: When we tend to see some persons into a pre-defined image, this is called making of stereotypes.
Detailed explanation-2: -A stereotype is an over-simplified and unjustified opinion about others. It is problematic because it ignores diversity among individuals. Stereotypes are intentional because images are created and fixed on people.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stereotype is the fixed notion or image of a group/person without any regard for their individuality. This has no rational or scientific basis. For example, the notion that girls cannot drive is a stereotype as there are a lot of good women drivers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Here are some examples of stereotypes to help you become more aware of them in your day-to-day life, and to avoid them. Girls are more docile and want to please others. Boys are not as good at listening to instructions and are less attentive. Girls will sometimes sulk too long over next to nothing.
