Stereotypes have long existed and will still exist. I believe they can be good and bad at the same time. 

"When writing about Africa you must use the words 'Africa' or 'Darkness' or 'Safari' as the heading" concluded by Wainana,B,2005,Granta,How to write about Africa.According to Wainana people in Africa die because of starvation,she also think when writing about Africa things like rice,beef and wheat should not be included, because apparently they eat things that other humans don't eat . This is more related to the TEDT talks presented by Ngozi which is the danger of a single story. People focus more on one side of the story. Like it is believed that African people are not educated or they starve.

Many people miss important information because of being stereotypes. As Vico visualise, he noticed that men make their own history then make it geography (Said,W.E,1975:13). "The West defined the Orient as an idea that has history and tradition of thought imagery and vocabulary that have given it reality,so therefore it would be wrong to conclude that the Orient was an idea of creation with no corresponding reality" concluded by Said,W.E,1975:13.

In this essay I conclude that it is important to know all sides of relevant story. Being stereotypes doesn't only mislead,but also makes one to be distorted. Missing important information cause one to conclude on irrelevant statements with no empirical evidence.
