Understanding Media
Stereotyping is the process of oversimplifying and generalizing traits, characteristics, or behaviors of a group of people, often leading to preconceived notions that are not necessarily true. This concept can influence how individuals perceive different cultures, genders, sexual orientations, and abilities, often resulting in biased attitudes and discriminatory practices. Stereotyping plays a significant role in shaping narratives within media representation and public discourse.
