or types of individuals.

reality.
People get stereotypes from other people or Mass Media but do not from by themselves on their own experience.
Most stereotypes are wrong as they refer to the whole group but not an individual.
Stereotypes are very enduring.

Girls are not good at sports

examples of this sort include the premises that:

Cultural Stereotypes:
All white Americans are obese, lazy and a dim-witted. Homer Simpson from the TV series «The Simpsons» is the personification of this stereotype.
All Mexicans are lazy and came into America illegally.
All people who live in England have bad teeth.
All African-Americans outside the United States are poor.
All Irish people eat potatoes.
All Asian like to eat rice and drive slow.

Goths, Gangsters, and Preps are a few examples. Most of the stereotyping is taking place in schools. For example:

Punks where mohawks, spikes, chains, are a meanie to society and are always getting in trouble.
All politicians think only of personal gain and benefit.

KG of tea per year according to 2009 figures and are ranked 6th in a list which is topped by the United Arab Emirates, followed by Ireland and Mauritania. Of course, tea is the 2nd most popular drink in the world next to water, so Britons are not alone in their collective love for a cuppa!

queue anywhere, many British people will state that they would prefer forming an orderly queue than the type of ‘free for all’ policy they may have seen adopted in other countries (although this in itself might be yet another stereotype!) However, the record for longest toilet queue is actually held by the Belgians and occurred when 756 people waited in line to use a latrine as part of UNICEF World Water Day activities!

become more blurred over the years, most Britons do tend to identify with one of the 3 main classes for better or for worse and although some claim that social mobility is greater now than it was for previous generations, evidence suggests that Britain unfortunately remains divided along class lines.

Weddings and Jubilees are lavish occasions which millions of Britons love to celebrate by waving Union Jacks, organising street parties and donning fantastic Great British fancy dress costumes! Indeed, as 24.5 million viewers watched the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Princess Catherine on TV last year, if a Royal Wedding was held every week it would certainly eclipse viewing figures of ‘EastEnders’ , ‘Coronation Street’ and ‘The X Factor’!

of rain, in 2009 the UK received less annual rainfall than Norway, Switzerland, Japan or New Zealand. It’s true that sodden citizens of Glasgow can expect around 48 inches of rain a year but this is only half the amount that the good people of Bergen, Norway can look forward to!
