BREAKING STEREOTYPES

              Appearances deceive. Appariencies are deceptive.

      There are many types of stereotypes such as those related to gender, age, nationalities, cultures, sexual orientations, professional activities, people who suffer from mental and physical disabilities, physical complexion or physical appearances, and many more; however, all of them are connected to prejudices that move us to make mistakes, to think, feel and behave improperly.
