What are stereotypes? Why do they exist? How are they helpful? How are they harmful?

In 1999 at Disney Institute, i learned how to teach positive and negative stereotypes to global business leaders.

Everyone knows about negative stereotypes.

Few have successfully exploited positive stereotypes (branding) like the Walt Disney Company.

Stereotypes are true and untrue beliefs about something or someone.

Stereotypes exist because they help society filter repetitive patterns efficiently.

Stereotypes positively offer effortless reflexive responses and choices in daily life.

Stereotypes negatively offer untrue, harmful, indecent, and unwanted judgement on things and people.
