This page covers what the term stereotypes actually means; I found it important to understand the terms and its meanings better as my independant study can relate to stereotypes of people from ethnic backgrounds. I learnt that there are many different characteristics of stereotypes.Stereotypes are and have usually been used as terms to describe certain groups of people (black, white etc) Stereotypes can be anything from people to actual things.
