streotyping

Stereotyping is more to generalizing something that is specific enough. People are having difficulty on avoiding stereotyping because our country are doing stereotyping in public. For example, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad always said that ‘Malay people are easily forgettable’. Even a public figure does stereotyping in life. Stereotyping also brings the positive sides. The stereotyping happens in positive way when people said that the Malaysian’s economy is conquered by Chinese, it is true. Because Chinese have the spirit of business and have the courage in taking a risk to have loss in their business. Most people can’t even change their mind from stereotyping because they have set up their mind to think that way. For example, if we hate a person from a specific culture, we tend to hate the whole culture because of that particular person, that is stereotyping. It is unfair because we have untrue belief of all people and does not have enough evidence to claim that they are wrong.
