Talking about stereotypes

Stereotypes are, as you know,  a generalization of a behavior or attitude given to a individual or a social group.  incentivated and developed by the media, specially by television. They are given to a society in very diferent ways. In  my country, Portugal, the most awaring stereotypes are racial/etnic and sexual stereotypes,  in my opinion. On the first as in so many countries slavery contributed to discriminate the black people. And gipsians are still seen not very well in the society. Those aspects must change don´t you think? But change depends on the review of mentalities and behaviours that we, society, adopt in our lifes. I felt bad when in another day our colegue Daira presented us a work about racism, when she showned us a vídeo that a black child felt sorry about being different from a white doll. Differences must be celebrated and respected in every corners of the world, not discriminated. And we learn that due to our intercultural competence. To become a better person!
