It is known that there are several stereotypes of people. The English and Brazilians are lively and fun-loving,instead The Japanise are shy.. Italians thought of themselves as extrover and sociable as the Spanish.. Also,italians are often compared to the Mafia..But,as italian, I know that this is completely false. As I know that every single of us have his own personality.... What kind of stereotypes do you know about yourself? Do you agree with that?

Hello, I believe in that stereotyping thing. I think among other things that shape one's psychology, culture of one's own country plays a vital role. Even our intelligence, emotional pattern to some extent depend on that. Some behaviors are considered socially acceptable in a certain country, whereas there may be a ban on the same thing in some other countries. Thus in order to fit in our own society we get ourselves habituated in some definite set of protocols which in turn shapes our character. Thanks. God bless you.
