They're all the same, aren't they?

They're all the same, aren't they?

   Today people from all over the world think stereotypically. Stereotypes exist all around us and everyone uses stereotypes on a daily basis. Stereotypes can be based on race, nationality, profession or gender. Stereotypes lead to prejudice and discrimination.

   There are some stereotypes about women. First - all blondes are stupid.
This is not true. For example, IQ of Sharon Stone is the same as that of the Einstein - 154 points. And JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, received in 2006 the title of highest paid writer in the world — bur she is a natural blonde. Also, Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton became the first in the history of the United States of the former First Lady, who took over as secretary of state.
   Second - woman drive a car worse than men. According to statistics, women less likely to get in an accident due to the fact that they have developed a survival instinct. More difficult for women to learn the skills of driving, they know the system of a car worse, than men but when women learn to drive, they drive no worse than men. 
   Third - all women want to marry.
There is a stereotype that all women think about a problem: how to get married? But it's not true, not everyone wants it. Some women are afraid of the idea to be married and have children. Many of them believe that first they have to make a career.


   Types of prejudice include sexism and relying on stereotypes can have negative consequences. So, I think that people should get rid of stereotypical thinking and prejudice and think about the person, judging by his actions and his character and not based on generalization. We should try to eliminate stereotypes from our lives.
