Everyone in the world can fit under a sereotype. people from certain regions, towns, and countries have same behavioral tendencies. Some people feel it is not good to fit under a stereotype. people want individual,original personalities. Being labeled as a stereotype can sometimes be very offensive to someone. The stereotype which i feel i perpetuate would be a jock. I've played sports my whole life. It isn;t really a stereotype that follows me now, but my middle and high school career were very different. I played soccer and baseball because i love to stay active and play team sports and i also trained pretty hard to stay in shape. people saw me as always doing something sports related and naturally categorized me as a jock. i did not personify the stereoypical attitude of a jock because idon't have a cocky personality at all. i've come to accept this label because i absolutely love sports and i see no problem being associated witht this group. there does tend to be some cockiness with personalities in this group but most people are pretty humble.
