The
Truth
about
Stereotypes
Stereotypes
are
____________________
about
people
that
are
usually
not
valid
.
They
do
have
a
function
,
though
:
they
provide
a
quick
and
easy
____________________
of
a
group
of
people
we
are
not
familiar
with
to
help
us
____________________
them
.
It
?
s
something
we
all
do
to
a
certain
extent
.
Take
____________________
stereotypes
for
example
.
What
comes
to
mind
when
you
think
of
UK
____________________
?
Is
it
the
image
of
a
tea
-
drinking
,
dress
-
or
suit
-
wearing
couple
being
endlessly
____________________
with
each
other
in
a
centuries
-
old
mansion
?
Well
,
sorry
to
burst
your
bubble
,
but
that
owes
more
to
the
TV
____________________
Downton
Abbey
than
real
____________________
in
the
UK
.
So
,
what
else
do
you
think
you
know
about
the
____________________
of
the
UK
?
They
have
a
reputation
for
peaceably
____________________
,
don't
they
?
Well
,
that
?
s
the
popular
stereotype
.
The
truth
is
somewhat
different
.
Queue
etiquette
works
best
when
there
is
someone
to
regulate
it
in
____________________
like
banks
,
shops
or
supermarkets
.
When
there
is
looser
regulation
,
such
as
waiting
for
a
bus
in
the
pouring
rain
,
then
the
English
queue
becomes
a
lot
more
____________________
and
then
it
?
s
goodbye
to
the
____________________
.
We
mustn
?
t
forget
that
the
United
Kingdom
actually
consists
of
four
countries
:
____________________
,
Wales
,
Scotland
and
Northern
____________________
.
Apart
from
the
fact
that
they
aren
?
t
even
all
together
on
one
island
,
these
four
nations
have
vastly
differing
____________________
,
landscapes
and
even
languages
.
Even
in
regional
cities
,
there
are
huge
differences
between
the
locals
.
Manchester
is
one
of
the
most
____________________
cities
in
the
UK
.
Surveys
show
that
there
are
about
200
____________________

in
this
Northern
English

How
can
residents
of
Manchester
conform
to
any
stereotype
with
this
____________________
of
nationalities
?
