I dislike the fact that some you should act in a certain way just because you are a woman or man/men .There is this thing that women should work in the kitchen and man should work ,some people think that because you are a woman you can't play certain sports.I hate all of this because people are creating a concept of people based on what they see ,but not on what they really are.

Stereotyping is a big problem in our society ,because it's puts labels about how a person should act or live according to their personality,race,sex and other facts.In my own opinion it has affected alot of people because they have this thing that you have to live like this just because of these stereotypes.Some are even ashamed to do certain activitives just because they are scared on how the society is going react on that certain thing.The honest truth is that stereotype has created a distortion of how every individual has to behave.

The negative effects that stereotyping causes in people are many.Some of the ngeatives effects are harm,poor performance in different activities and even in health problems.According to the article i read by Rick Nauert .Nauert argues how people can be affected by stereotypes even after being exposed to them.Stereotypes create a misconception of how people are and how they live in other cultures and countries also.This misconception has caused alot of discrimination ,In the talk"The danger of a single story"  by Chimamanda Adichie argues that if you only know the single story of a person or a country can cause a big misunderstanding and create stereotypes.

She uses examples of when she first came to US to study and how her Journey in US was.In all don't judge what you see in person.
