A stereotype in sociology, is a fixed,
exaggerated, and preconceived description
about a certain type of person, group, or
society. It is based on prejudice rather than
fact, but by repetition and with time,
stereotypes become fixed in people's minds,
resistant to change or factual evidence to
the contrary.
