A stereotype is a standardized idea of a specific group of peopleor objects.Stereotypes are the generalization of characteristics; they reducecomplexity, provide stability and also can offer opportunities to identifyoneself with others.Racism can more narrowly refer to a system of oppression. Several things could be done to alleviate racial tensions and stereotypesthat lead to problems in society. First thing is to teach our children aboutloving their fellow man at a young age. When we are born, we don't see adifference in each other. Hate for another is a learned behavior and ifparents would discontinue the transferance of racism from on generation toanother it will eventually die out. Secondly, we can make an effort. reachout and learn as much as we can about people that are different from usinstead of making rash criticisms and assumptions about them.
