In our society, we define ourselves by the differences we see in other people. We notice how fat people are or how tall someone is in comparison to ourselves. In this crazy world, we try to makes sense of reality by comming up with stereotypes about other people, races, and cultures. Why do we care so much about what other people think of us? If u r one of those people who say I don't care what other people think u r a big fat liar. It may not be to the same extent as others but everybody wants people to think a certain way about them. Whether u want to portray yourself as a thug or gangster, conservative or liberal, white or black, everyone cares on what the next person thinks of them. What is detrimental to our society is that people hold stereotypes of entire groups. For example, black people like chicken our white people can't dance. No one is exactly the same as another person. When we stereotype we are doin damage to society
