A stereotype is "...a fixed, over generalised belief about a particular group or class of people.” In other words stereotyping is believing that people of a certain group, race or religion all have the same characteristics when they don't. Learning from the media and communicating with people of some European countries, we pick up a lot of stereotypes about other nations. In every country there are plenty of stereotypes about residents, some may be true but most of them are untrue and very wrongful.
In the world there are many different nations different stereotypes. For example:
The British.
Personal characteristic. British people live in the UK. They are people who live in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. British people can also either be English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish (from Northern Ireland only). The British are said to be reserved in manners, dress and speech. They are famous for their politeness, self-discipline and especially for their sense of humour. British people have a strong sense of humour which sometimes can be hard for foreigners to understand. Appearance, clothes, fashion. The most common image people have of a typical Englishman is a man wearing a bowler hat, a pin striped suit, a newspaper under the arm and carrying a long unopen umbrella." Favorite topics for conversation. The weather, definitely. As this is impersonal topic. The British are reserved as already mentioned and they don’t like speaking about themselves and their private life. Pastime/leisure time activities. Saturday is traditionally the day for shopping and watching sports. The British are known as a nation of gardeners. Most people have a garden on their property. Gardening has been a popular pastime since Roman times. Many people in Britain are proud of their houses and gardens. They want their houses and gardens to look nice. Every town in Britain has one or more DIY (Do it Yourself) centres and garden centres. Many of the world's famous sports began in Britain, including cricket, football, lawn tennis, golf and rugby England's national sport is cricket although to many people football (soccer) is seen as our national sport. Football is our most popular sport. Some of England's football teams are world famous, the most famous being Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Going to the pub is the most popular leisure activity outside the home. Pubs are an important part of British life. People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends and relax there.
Family. There is an English saying My home – my castle.
Holiday destinations. Two-thirds of all British people have their holidays in July and August, which are the most popular months for holidays. English school children are on holiday from the end of July to the beginning of September. The traditional British holiday is a seaside holiday. There are places near the sea, such as Blackpool, Scarborough and Bournemouth. Favourite food/drink. British food has traditionally been based on beef, lamb, pork, chicken and fish and generally served with potatoes and one other vegetable. The most common and typical foods eaten in Britain include the sandwich, fish and chips, pies like the cornish pasty, trifle and roasts dinners. Some of our main dishes have strange names like Bubble & Squeak and Toad-in-the-Hole. The English like tea and drink it in all possible ocassions: Tea solves everything. You're a bit cold? Tea. Your boyfriend has just left you? Tea. You've just been told you've got cancer? Tea. Coordinated terrorist attack on the transport network bringing the city to a grinding halt? TEA DAMMIT!
The British are proud of. Their country, the Queen and Royal family.
Superstitions. Good Luck. Lucky to meet a black cat. Black Cats are featured on many good luck greetings cards and birthday cards in England. Lucky to touch wood. We touch; knock on wood, to make something come true. Lucky to find a clover plant with four leaves. White heather is lucky. A horseshoe over the door brings good luck. But the horseshoe needs to be the right way up. The luck runs out of the horseshoe if it is upside down. Horseshoes are generally a sign of good luck and feature on many good luck cards. Bad Luck. Unlucky to walk underneath a ladder. Seven years bad luck to break a mirror. The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods. Unlucky to see one magpie, lucky to see two, etc.. Unlucky to spill salt. If you do, you must throw it over your shoulder to counteract the bad luck. Unlucky to open an umbrella in doors. The number thirteen is unlucky. Friday the thirteenth is a very unlucky day. Friday is considered to be an unlucky day because Jesus was crucified on a Friday. Unlucky to put new shoes on the table.
The Scots.
Personal characteristics. By world standards Scots are very well-educated people. And although the location of Scotland, tucked away in a distant corner of Europe, might have once kept Scots out of touch with the rest of the world, they have had, since the 18th century, a distinctly global outlook. Generations of Scottish emigration means that few Scots are without relatives in countries such as New Zealand, Australia, Canada, South Africa, or America. The Scots view of themselves is often quite difficult for visitors to understand. That view tends to be a mixture of outrageous pride and incredible cynicism. It's a complex mixture. Typical Scots can never praise Scotland without a hint of irony in their voice - and can never criticize it without betraying a deep love of their country. Scots have a deadpan style of humor; a reluctance to express enthusiasm for anything in direct terms - thus, " It's no bad, " becomes the equivalent of " It's fantastic. "
Pastime activities. On many occasions - at New Year, at weddings, ceilidhs, at parties, at major soccer games - Scots will dance, sing, kiss, embrace, cheer and let themselves go. Scots also have a tendency towards what can only be described as sentimentality. When a few Scots are gathered together, looking back on a history of lost causes and what-might-have-beens, it can very quickly bring on a general communal malaise. Add a few beers, the right music, or poetry, or song, and the combination can be melancholic in its effect. Not that all Scots would describe themselves as traditional-music fans. But sit in a Scottish pub at the end of the evening when a singer strikes up the opening of Scotland's only real national anthem, " Flower of Scotland, " and you will see the tears well up in the eyes of grown men.
Appearance. Kilts probably come to your mind when you think of Scottish fashion. The kilt is the symbol most people think of as irrevocably Scottish. The kilt has its origins in ancient Highland garb but despite its origins, both Highlanders and Lowlanders are proud to wear it. During re-enactments fairs, Tartan days and other such occasions celebrating all things Scottish, the kilt turns up in all its glory. It has become the accepted traditional costume around the world, and like all such attire it is usually worn on special occasions as proof of continuing cultural heritage and national pride.
A joke. Did you hear about the thoughtful Scotsman who was heading out to the pub? He turned to his wee wife before leaving and said, 'Jackie - put your hat and coat on lassie.' She replied, 'Awe Iain that's nice - are you taking me to the pub with you?' 'Nah, just switching the central heating off while I'm oot.'
The Italians.
Personal characteristic. The Italians are sociable and friendly. They often gesticulate and talk loudly, are short temperred and always start discussions about the most banal topics. Italians are good lovers but bad workers. Spaghetti, mafia, musical accent, gestures, romantic, loud, fashion, chaos - these are all words often used to describe Italians. They are chaotic. Nothing in Italy is well organized or easy-to-use. You have to fight to get the smallest scrap of information. Don't be surprised to see Italians fighting to get into the buses or jumping the queue to be served first at the coffee bar. Italy’s slow-moving and stressful bureaucracy has made us more pushy and resourceful.
Appearance, clothes, fashion. They are also fashion victims: you can recognise Italians by the way they dress from the head to feet (strictly black Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses; Calvin Klein boxers; Levi's jeans; Gucci handbags; tanned skin all year long; perfect make up). They will dress stylishly for every possible occasion. You won't ever see an Italian wearing sporting short pants combined with long socks: it's simply against our fashion rules (let alone our sense of style)! However, Italian men are often presented as arrogant machos who walk around with a shirt open to show their pertorial muscles and chest hair.
Likes/dislikes. Italians like their regular time to rest between 1 and 4 p.m. They like good melas, good strong coffee, music, matching fashion accessories. They do not like cultural barbarians and Mafia. The Mafia is real: nothing to be proud of it but it does exists, especially in the South and the island of Sicily. Obviously, not every Italian is a Mafioso and most will feel offended and insulted if you use the term, even when if you mean it as a joke. The Italians do enjoy romance (just like everyone else - more or less) and maybe the stereotype of the Italian romantic lover is not completely dead. An Italian guy will never let a girl go home unescorted. Also, the macho ideal is still alive and well in Italian culture.
Favorite topics for conversation. Italians love to talk. The way they speak is completely original. The most important elements of communication are the gestures: the way they move their hands, hold their heads, move their shoulders, their facial expressions. They simply cannot talk without their hands. Italians speak very loudly in public whether
