"What stereotypes do people have about you? What stereotypes do you have about other people? Are stereotypes beneficial or harmful? Why do you think this?"
Other people people think of me as a Brazilian since I'm from Brazil and also as a person who's outgoing. I tend to go to people to talk to them or when I get to know people, I open myself to them. I love getting to know new people and learning about the others. Some people might see me as a tennis captain, or a cheerleader since that's what I'm involved in school. The elementary kids would call me "Miss Sinny" since I coached elementary gymnastics.
I think of others as what they are involved in mostly. When I describe people I intend to describe them not in physical way but in what they do. If they are involved in sports, I would describe them as somekind of player or the captain or whatever their position is. Sometimes if it's not possible to describe the person as in what they do then I do describe them physically whether they are tall or short or what kind of style they wear. Everyone has different style of how they dress up or if the person is girl, they have their own style of putting on make up. Usually that's how we communicate to talk about others.
Sterotypes are harmful and beneficial because when we describe a person, we can describe the person in a good way or we can describe the person in a bad way. If the person has a bad style of wearing clothes, then we intend to describe them in a bad way. It's beneficial because we can describe them and imagine who they are. Mostly, I think it's beneficial because sterotypes helps others to describe the other person. Usually people don't say negative things about others which in my opinion that it's more beneficial then being harmful.
