Stereotypes may be defined as general characterizations that people normally associate with a particular group of people or special interest community. These generalizations can either be positive or negative depending on the situations which they are applied in. when the generalizations target a particular country or ethnic group, they are mostly considered to be negative.
• Men and sports stereotype
• How does it comes about?
• Characteristics of the stereotype.
In most male dominated environments, this stereotype is so strong that men who don’t like sports feel intimidated or emasculated because they are bot conforming to the expectations of society. I find this stereotype easy for me and particularly interesting for me because it is shown everywhere and example of it can be found nearly all over.
