Answer 1

Answer:

to break down stereotypes to give a few examples of areas in which people often have stereotypical ideas  

Explanation:

This question is about the article "why stereotypes should be avoided". In this article, the author reinforces the idea of how harmful stereotypes are, fixes an incorrect idea about people and prevents individuals from pursuing certain activities because they believe they do not fit certain stereotypes. To strengthen this argument, the author presents areas that are victims of constant stereotypes such as academic, artistic and sports areas.
