Stereotyping is used on groups as an assumption or a widely-known idea about what those particular groups are like.
We stereotype when we assume a group is a particular way. The reason we do this is to relate those groups to particular behaviours or characteristics so that we can create a typical image that is well-known to many audiences.
The media uses stereotypes in order to create an image for that particular group. Stereotypes help audiences to relate to the story, and they become well-known to everyone so they are aware of what the media is talking about.
