=How do different stereotypes influence the way we see Britons?= If you think of a stereotype, you instantly focus on what it describes. The images you create are then used to recognize both populations and countries, and the stereotype is used as a basic layer to gather information. So, the stereotypes often make the first impression of (for instance) a country. The knowledge is important as it also can give you the will to find out more about the subject. This is both positive and negative, because the population is exposed together with their country, which brings us to the question: How do different stereotypes influence the way we see Britons?

The British stereotypes influence our vision upon the Britons, by giving us an idea of how they act or behave as human beings. However, some of the allegations are true, but the majority of stereotypes are created as a product of our own imagination. This is why we have to consider whether to believe in the stories or not, and also figure out where these stereotypes origin and why they were made. Stereotypes in general presents a population in a “typical” point of view, as the statements are based on what we know about their society, or what the rest of the world believes.

The stereotypes affect us because not everyone is able to tell why we got these in the first place. Most stereotypes are actually cultural facts, and really give information about what the stereotypes describe. Although most stereotypes give us this advantage, others are getting too old. Like the rest of the world, the British society is developing, and there are important changes which influence the value of the stereotypes. They are mainly based on traditions, memorable objects and what the country is known for. This is why we have to consider what we know about Britain, before we judge their way of living.

All over the world people have stereotyped all kinds of people. A stereotype is a commonly held public belief about specific social groups, or types of individuals. The Britons are one of the social groups who have revised quite a lot. Some of the things the Britons are stereotyped with is that they are old fashioned. All they do is to drink tea and eat crumpets acting all snobby with their broad accents and worship their beloved queen. But why do we see the Britons the way we do? Why do we have the stereotypes that we have, and are they by any means true?  The main reason for why we see Britons the way we do is because of the stereotypes we have made up in our heads. We have made up a commonly held brief about how every single individual acts as human beings. For instance are the Britons stereotyped as snobby and all they think about is their afternoon tea with Crumpets. And all they to in their spare time are playing cricket and ascot. But is it really that way? Does this refer to every Briton?  Hardly not, but of course it refers to some people. Especially when it comes to playing **ascot**, it does not refer to everyone. Ascot is only played by the people in the upper class. It’s the day where they come out of their castles wearing their extravagant hats and drinks champagne with their fellow friends from the upper class. It’s a snobby thing, but it’s also a tradition and Britons are also known as the nation who sticks to their own old traditions.
