Content: Age Stereotypes
Age-related stereotypes are prevalent in workplaces that employ people of a wide range of ages. Younger employees might believe that older employees are incapable of keeping up with modern-day trends, while older workers can mistakenly believe that their young co-workers are lazy. A 2011 study by the consulting group Achieve Global reports that traits of a workplace that has problems associated with age include employees judging each other based on their age alone and employers only hiring people from a certain age group. Race Stereotypes
The website Law Teacher reports that racial stereotypes are common because popular culture often perpetuates these beliefs. For example, many will stereotype African-Americans as being lazy or unintelligent, while others might believe that most Latinos working the U.S. are in the country illegally. Some stereotypes have a positive twist, but are stereotypes nonetheless. Many people assume that all Asians are skilled in such disciplines as mathematics. 00:00
