Stereotypes are beliefs that are inaccurate or partially true about certain group of people or thing.
The Main Issue
The importance of knowing the issue.
Knowing the ongoing issue of stereotypes is important because we can try and minimize it since it does affect everyone of all ages.
Why is this important?
Since stereotypes also affect children then parents and teachers can try to help the children understand and recognize stereotypes.
The Main Issue between Stereotypes and Children
The Main Issue of Stereotypes
Stereotypes have typically been known to affect adults but recently there have been studies and articles talking about how children are being affected by it at such a young age. For children stereotypes are typically seen on advertisements, TV shows and movies. According to a Journal written by Jennifer Gladkowski mentions how the average American is exposed to around 4,000 to 10,000 advertisements a day.

We should all be informed of the issue and the effects it has on other people. We should be aware of the consequences it has on children and how we can try and minimize these consequences. Teachers and parents should try and go over what stereotypes are and help them understand to identify them.

Raising a kid free of stereotypes is not impossible but it is very difficult. The best we can do is help children recognize and understand what stereotypes are and how they can recognize it.
