PROVING STEREOTYPES WRONG
& DOING WHAT YOU LOVEMackenzie Vinson
TYPICAL STEREOTYPES
Definition of Stereotype:
“A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image
or idea of a particular type of person or thing”
• “Brainless” • “Stupid” • “You’re just getting your ‘Mrs.’
degree” • “Not hard” • “Stuck-Up” • “They take the easy way in life”
Why do we stereotype?
“9 in 10 college students say it is more important to find a major
that is interesting no matter how practical it is”
-Survey conducted at the University of California
