To me, stereotype can be in negative side. Why I said it can be negative? Let see on people surrounding us. People nowadays loves to condemn and give comment towards other besides knowing what happen actually. They are easily making judgement towards other. People begins to judge people since the first impression they meet or see or heard about others.
For instance, the situation is in class and the lecturer is distributing the test paper that has been marked. People does assume that, student who get highest marks is an intelligent student. But, people do not know the real situation. It might be the student is copying in exam without teacher realize. When it comes to the student who is always get lowest marks, people assume that the student is lazy to study. But, it might be the student gives full time to study. When it comes to test, he or she feels nervous and what he or she had studied before is lost in his or her mind.
Through stereotype, people always get misconception. It just a same like assuming people who comes from a certain state. Such an example, people assuming those who are in Penang mostly are mamak descent. But, it is all wrong. Not all people in Penang is mamak. It just a certain only.
Stereotype is bad. We cannot judge other without find the evidence to prove that the judgement that we did is truth. We also cannot believe what we saw and what we heard from others. It is bias. We must stop judging others starting from now.
