Stereotypes are frequently used to legitimize bad form and segregation, approve abuse, empower misuse, support savagery, and shield degenerate power structures. According to Psychology Today, there are many truth that is underlying social labels and stereotypes. This is because of stereotype many relationships are getting destroyed because one day you will get to know truth because it was their expectations that might can be ruined. I think you can change stereotypes and prejudices as by changing behavior of yourself or try to interact with more and more people, so you won’t have any misunderstandings towards any race. You can try to make every kind of race friend. You will able to learn more about cultural and people around you. Also, make sure there is always bad mind people around but you just have to ignore and keep going on your track.Social Labels and Stereotypes Discussion
