Stereotypes - Tessa Perkins


Rethinking Stereotypes - (Tessa Perkins)

1. Stereotypes are not always wrong
2. They are not always negative concepts
3. They are about groups with whom we have little or no social contact; by implication, therefore, they are not held about our own group(s)
4. They are not always about minority (or oppressed) groups
5. They can be simple or complicated
6. They are not rigid and can change
7. People often believe some parts of a stereotype but not always all

Adapted for GCSE
