post #10 Stereotype

Stereotyping according to the dictionary is defined as a set of inaccurate, simplistic generalizations about a group that allows others to categorize them and treat them accordingly. Stereotyping is something that occurs more often than people might think.  People may think differently of certain people because of the way someone might look. It's like the expression "don't judge a book from its cover". In this picture the groups of people being stereotyped are Asians, punk rockers, and people who dye their hair.  All of the girls are giving off the message of people automatically thinking they belong in a category just because of their appearance. Stereotyping in society is very common, all thought it is something people should stop getting in the habit of doing.
