Stereotyping: Pro & Con
7 September 2010
The world is a kaleidoscope of activity. In order for us to
understand all this activity, our brain sees stereoscopically and thinks
stereotypically. Thus we reduce all this activity into patterns that
enable us to cope with the present and predict the future. But sometimes
these patterns distort reality and create problems. For example, we tend
to stereotype other people and (mis)treat them accordingly. Let's monitor
and moderate our stereotypical thinking by recognizing its limits and
giving other people a chance.
