Preconceptions: a preconceived idea or prejudice, formed before evidence for its truth or usefulness has been acquired. Stereotype: an oversimplified mental picture of a group of people who share certain characteristic qualities; often used in a negative sense; illogical yet deeply held beliefs that can only be changed through education; common stereotypes include various generalizations about arid predictions of behaviour based on racial groups, social status and wealth. Stereotyping: when we make allegations or predictions of behaviour about a group of people who share something in common. Labels: a classifying name applied to a person or thing, often with negative connotations; labels are often used for stereotypes. The Bill of Rights: legal statement of the rights given to everyone.
