Answer:

Appearance and identity characteristics are highly valued aspects in a local community, workplace and different regions of a country. It is usually common to have a specific physical, cultural and social pattern, which forms a stereotype that identifies a person in a social group.

The stereotypes are usually different in each location in the world, often being different within the same country. An example of a stereotype is African tribes who use body painting to identify themselves as part of the same group.

It is common for individuals to want to identify themselves within a society and for behaviors and moral conduct to be shared by individuals, but when there are physical stereotypes due to individual characteristics such as skin color and weight, this can culminate in situations that expose a person to discriminatory situations that could affect your life as a whole. Therefore, it is necessary that prejudices against people's specific conditions are fought within a group, through integration and information sharing.
