Answer 1

Answer:

Stereotype

Explanation:

But at many places, it becomes wrong judgement just because the person could not discriminate in things or people or any particular statement and generalized at all people. It creates biases in judgment. Due to the generalization person who meets a new person thinks that it has all the qualities which a group considers. We can be called a social categorization that leads to a social prejudice attitude. Racial, gender, community, group stereotypes are present in the society which leads to prejudice attitude among people.
