The total number of charitable contributions made in the US are higher than in any other country. If you believe that all Americans are generous then you may find yourself at a loss when you encounter one of the many who are not. There are people in this country who do not engage in charitable giving.
It is inaccurate to think that all American citizens are generous, considering the large size of the U. When compared to women, some people think that men do a majority of the joke telling.
The dominance of male comedians may contribute to this inaccurate stereotype. This behavior, however, might be more of a coping mechanism than a natural tendency. Some men use jokes to defend emotional vulnerabilities when sad things happen, because they are socialized not to show deep emotions or cry. Some joke as a way to woo women they are interested in. There is no science behind this idea. And the cultural landscape is shifting as more female comedians are visible in every aspect of entertainment, from producing and directing to writing and acting.
However, there are still a greater number of well-known male comedians than female. This makes it much more difficult for a woman to break into this industry. Audiences could assume that a woman won't be funny as soon as she gets up on the stage. As a result, they are less likely to give her a chance.

It's quite another to say we should ignore an accurate generalization just because there are exceptions to it. The real question is: What makes some uses of stereotypes inappropriate and others appropriate?
Age requirements. Most accept that a person should be a certain age to vote or drive a car. Neither is based on universally valid generalizations: Some year-olds shouldn't be voting and some year-olds would be competent to do so. Some year-olds could reasonably drive a car.
Nor is individual testing always a workable solution to such problems. Testing is expensive and not without its own errors and abuses.
Imagine the controversies that would attend any individualized test for voter competence. Who would be trusted to design such a test? Even so-called positive stereotypes can be harmful. Williams shares that stereotypes about athletic skill and musical abilities push African American youth away from college in favor of efforts to become athletes or entertainers, professions in which statistically speaking, the vast majority are destined to fail.
If not addressed, it can leave one to infer that this stereotype is true. It takes many experiences with diverse populations to challenge stereotypes. There has been a lot of work in attempting to challenge gender stereotypes. Old-fashioned ideas that some toys are just for boys, or that women should stay home while men work have been challenged and progress has been made.
There is still a long way to go, but the proportion of women with college degrees in the labor force has almost quadrupled since Statistically, more women now graduate with degrees than men. While the fight for gender equality is far from over, the same efforts to challenge assumptions and provide equal opportunities for people regardless of race must be given the same attention. The first step is to identify stereotypes.
