Life is based on a series of different perceptions. Human beings often attach opinions, feelings, and value judgments to every moment or incident in their lives, and this is usually done unintentionally. Most of the time, these opinions are fixed and stored in their minds for a long time. They then stand there, unyielding and unyielding. Although a common perception is that because a phenomenon exists it must be based in truth and the idea of ​​stereotypes is also based on a similar fallacy, but this is incorrect because stereotypes are theories or overarching generalizations which are detached from reality and only exist because of preconceived notions, social perceptions and common experiences, denying the principle of individualism. There is no logical explanation behind their formation; nor any reasoning or critical thinking that led to their existence in the first place. There are many examples of stereotypes present in our society today, such as blonde women being stupid, African Americans and women being inferior, Asians being intelligent, teenagers being rebellious. The thing to understand about these examples is that even if there were one or more people from each category who reflected the particular characteristics for which they are stereotyped, it does not necessarily follow that all Other people of the same gender, age, or race possess the exact same or somewhat similar traits. One of the reasons why stereotypes appear is due to the ideas, opinions or values ​​that prevail within societies. These values ​​are extremely important because, in many cases, they constitute the binding force or integrating mechanism that unites society as a whole. So essential......middle of paper......s. For years, these people have been considered inferior due to the stereotype passed down from generation to generation. When they began to fight for equality, these people were able to convince many people to think logically rather than basing their ideas on the stigmas prevalent in society. Logic and equality were then realized as the truth replacing the stereotype that was previously dominant. We can conclude that stereotypes are not based on truth because truth is something definite and absolute; what cannot be refuted and what does not lose credibility over time. Since stereotypes are manifestations of ideologies and ideologies are subject to change, stereotypes have no basis in truth. Instead, they are the result of oversimplifications, exaggerations and generalizations and contain no semblance of truth..
