It can be either racial, gender, or even sexual comments. Stereotyping should not be confused with generalization, a term that makes a general statement which can’t be true all of the time.

Like Marmite you either loved them or hated them. The theme tune infiltrated adult brains and could be heard being whistled along most supermarket shopping aisles at any given point during the week!

    Stereotype: a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. We’ve all heard the word. We’ve all been told not to do it, yet we still do. I seem to always here the excuse “but it’s true!” after individuals stereotype people guiltily, but what they don't realize is that doesn’t make them any less rude.

    In Sophocles’ successful play “Oedipus the King” the main character, Oedipus, represents himself as a heroic archetype by overcoming such crazy obstacles by his family. In my eyes, a hero represents someone with much bravery and knowledge of what to do in life changing issues. Oedipus may not be the typical suit and armor, cape and magical powers type of hero, but he attempts to do what he believes is right for his own sake. Heroes can be known for their heroic events when they do something…

The heroes and heroines of many stories often undergo some sort of training or rite of passage before embarking on a quest or accomplishing some magnificent feat. These characters are also often assisted by companions –their sometimes unrealistically loyal and humble…
