When we consider the topic of stereotypes, the first thing that comes to mind is snap judgments and the jokes about them. This essay will look into the advantages and disadvantages that stereotypes other nationalities have about Spaniards.
Many argue that the use of stereotypes is by far the best option as it allows you to make jokes about our country and there is no denying that using them is also a reasonable course of action for those who wish to get a simplification about the features of our population. Yet, there are factors like generalize and misjudge that should also be taken into account in order to make the best choice. There is much more to life than just making jokes and getting a quick opinion about Spaniards. According to the latest research, 75% of European citizens value respect over making fun about a friendly country. Moreover, if people didn’t use stereotypes about us, they would have two additional major advantages, namely an equal society and the fact that citizens might have a positive attitude to meet Spaniards. If promoting fair values ranks high on your priority list, then the use of stereotypes should definitely be out of the question. And last, but certainly not least, you must consider whether having prejudices is an issue for you. If so, then not using stereotypes about our country is likely to be a much better option for you. To sum up, although on the face of it using of stereotypes, sounds like a good idea when it comes to making jokes about Spain or having a quick opinion about us, a more in-depth analysis suggests otherwise. In fact, most evidence points to the fact that if respect, positive attitude to people, an equal society and preventing prejudices is what you are after, then not using stereotypes will probably work best for you.
