= STEREOTYPES =

Previous knowledge:I know that stereotypes is when a person wants to be like someone fisically and try to imitate them, and sometimes they do not do it correctly and start exagerating the change, and there is when the diseases start to the person because she/he take drugs, do operations etc


 * // What are stereotypes? //**

Stereotypes are generalizations about a group of people whereby we attribute a defined set of characteristics of a model person. Stereotypes go way beyond race and gender. Some charts have proved that there are more cases of woman stereotyping than boys.

Stereotype is an imitation of a person (eg. a singer, soccer player, tv actress etc...) it is not bad to have a lower sense of stereotyping but when you come in excess is because you have a "mental shortcut". This shortcut happens when you start getting to involved in it.

Is when you are trying to be like the one you want but you don’t know what you’re doing to your body

--this gir wanted to be like--- A consequence of stereotype is the concept of stereotype threat, which states that the person will act opposite to the stereotype, only this can happen if a person will do judgment accordingly.
 * Consequenses: **

If for the stereotype they do plastic cirugies and inject things there is a time when the body can't contain it and it have a bad reaction
