Among these examples, which one is NOT an example of stereotypes? |
Group C is lazy. Tribe A is irrational. She is a brave person. Community B is coward. |
She is a brave person. |
The correct answer is Option (3) → She is a brave person. Here's why: Stereotypes are oversimplified and often negative generalizations about an entire group of people based on assumptions or prejudices. They attribute certain characteristics to all members of a group, regardless of individual differences. "She is a brave person" describes an individual's character trait. It's a specific observation about a particular person, not a generalization about an entire group. The first three statements ("Group C is lazy," "Tribe A is irrational," and "Community B is coward") generalize characteristics about entire groups, which is characteristic of stereotypes.
