//**Every one is guilty of stereotyping .People find that it is easier to remember people if we put them into categories. For example they must be rich because they have got pretty earrings on or because of there race gender or image .Stereotypes are generalizations, or assumptions, that people make about the characteristics of all members of a group, based on an image (often wrong) about what people in that group are like. For example, one study of stereotypes revealed that Americans are generally considered to be friendly, generous, and tolerant, but also arrogant, impatient, and bossy. Asians, on the other hand, were expected to be clever and alert, but reserved. Clearly, not all Americans are friendly, happy and generous; and not all Asians are clever. If you automatically think you know what a person is like, and don't look at each person as an individual, you are likely to make errors in your estimates of a person's character and sometimes offend some one in the progress.In the giver there is alot of stereotyping because they make generalisations about what boys and girls can do.For example the boys get specific jobs and girls get specific jobs.**//
