When I was younger, I did not have a stereotype of the homeless because my mother would always stop and give them food or money. I grew up learning that some people just did not have life as easy as I did. Throughout life, I have given money to food to as many homeless individuals I could provide for. However, I have never actually picked up a homeless individual because of the crime rates we have now a days. The news has developed a since of insecurity to this world, that makes fear to be very true towards some individuals. So, therefore, I would not say I have a stereotype of homeless individuals, but have a fear of picking up anyone based on the media. Maybe that is stereotyping towards all individuals who are walking based on the reaction
