BUSINESS AND STEREOTRYPES

It's kind of difficult to not stereotype anyone or anything before we met them. I think it's something we are taught from childhood, therefore it becomes a bad habit.
Stereotypes could be considered as a form of discrimination which society is very used to by the very fact that explained above that we all grow with it. We need to realize that from the first contact with someone or something we began a personal analysis in our minds according to experience or knowledge acquired in the past, where we can find points as way she/he walks, how she/he talks, how she/he dresses, what's the first impression, etc.

 Otherwise we have ethnocentrism, which is to judge other cultures only by the values and customs that have a culture or country; it is very easy for US citizens to judge and create stereotypes of Mexicans they've seen on television or simply by what they have heard from others. It also happens in Mexico, when Mexicans themselves judge and stereotype people from other states or from different cultures, by the way they talk, dress, or dialects they communicate.
