Stereotypes, mind

Disney brands displayed on wall
Disney brands at Disney University. Branding is a great example of intentionally managing stereotypes.

What are stereotypes? Why do they exist? How are they helpful? How are they harmful?

Stereotypes are true and untrue beliefs about something or someone.

Stereotypes exist because they help society filter repetitive patterns efficiently.

Stereotypes positively offer effortless reflexive responses and choices in daily life.

Stereotypes negatively offer untrue, harmful, indecent, and unwanted judgement on things and people.
