Stereotypes are used and known by so many people because we cant find all the information we would want to know about EVERYONE. So, we create ways to think of each group by what we have seen in our lives, not on how they live their own lives. It effects us because we then look at someone from some group, we automatically think of what we have seen. For example, what is going on today with the Qurans. People in the US want to believe that all Muslims are terrorist, all because of 9/11. That is obviously wrong. We dont know every Muslim in the world, but they are not all terrorist, so we shouldn't treat them with that lack of respect.
