Question 1:

Yes, there is an existing concept of a good stereotype which basically refers to a positive stereotype.
The positive stereotype refers to a favorable belief that is often held of a social group. Forming a
certain perspective of a social group has its own pros and cons. For instance, forming a perspective
that Asians have the ability to be better at math denies the fact that others can be good too.
Therefore, forming a positive stereotype is good, however, neglecting other factors on the basis of
that is not good.

Question 2:

Development of stereotypes is a rather typical fact that exists around the world. It is difficult to
manage human beings or refraining them from forming stereotypes. In order to not let stereotypes
blur our vision while making an important decision, it is important to understand that particular
groups cannot be tagged on the basis of certain people. Moreover, people possess various
characteristics on the basis of how they are, forming stereotypes will not just make it hard for us to
understand the right person, but also, lead to adverse effects in people’s lives. We need to
understand the negative aspects of tagging people.

reason that I failed in the task.
