Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Sociology - Individual, Groups, Society, grade: 1,33, Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH, language: English, abstract: This paper starts by pointing out why stereotypes are harmful, especially for the recipient. Some consequences are increased anger, depression, and lower task performance. Continuing by explaining how an individual can reduce discrimination within himself as well as in a group this paper draws from the three main theories of stereotype development, namely social cognition perspective, social identity perspective and the discursive perspective. Drawing also from insights from the economic sociology I conclude that high status, power and a position in a structural hole between groups are facilitators for combating discrimination. Finally an example setting integrates the different theories and measure explained.
