Youth
- All youths believe that the police have it in for them
- Negative stereotypes as hoodie wearing criminals
- Young people are portrayed the media as alcoholics and drug abusers, criminals, lazy, complaining and aggressive
- A common misconception for parents is that every middle school kid of this generation is concealed, gossip ridden, hormone raging and naive. This is a stereotype. The irony of labelling children with stereotypes is not just hypocritical, but a huge over generalisation.
Old
- Pensioners stereotype as being grumpy
- The elderly are stereotyped as being frail and lonely
- They are not wanted and a burden to the family
- The image of old people as childlike has been with us for a long time, there was a high level of agreement that old people are unproductive, have to go to bed early, need a nap everyday and in the happiest period of their lives, cannot manage their own affairs and are in their second childhood
