Stereotyping refers to classifying people, places, or things according to common traits. Prejudices and stereotypes can function as assumptions in our thinking, appearing in inductive and deductive reasoning. For example, it is not difficult to find inductive reasoning that results in generalizations such as these, as well as deductive reasoning in which these stereotypes serve as assumptions:

School has nothing to do with life.

Intellectuals are nerds.

People on welfare are lazy.

Each group member should find one example of inductive reasoning and one example of deductive reasoning in which stereotyping occurs. Upon returning to the group, present each example and then describe how the stereotyping results in faulty conjectures or prejudging situations and people.
