Question: 1 / 50

What would not be an example of ‘Stereotyping’?

All homeless people are dangerous

Kids in school on the lunch program are poor

People that get into financial trouble do so because they are irresponsible people

People that drive over the speed limit are more likely to cause an accident

Stereotyping is the act of making generalizations about a group of people based on limited or biased information or beliefs. Option D does not involve a generalization about a group of people, unlike the other options. Option A assumes that all homeless people are dangerous, option B assumes that all kids on the lunch program are poor, and option C assumes that all people in financial trouble are irresponsible. These assumptions do not take into account the individual circumstances and experiences of each person, and are therefore examples of stereotyping.
