A stereotype involves categorizing a group of people and assuming they all share certain characteristics. This oversimplifies individuals and can lead to false generalizations about anyone belonging to that group. Stereotypes are common to all human cultures and reflect the ideas groups hold about those perceived as different. They can be based on race, religion, physical attributes, profession, or other factors. While stereotypes may contain kernels of truth, they fail to account for diversity within groups.
