Abstract

Cultural differences widely existed are often simply standardized into preconceived ideas and images, leading to stereotype on different ethnic groups. Such fixed conceptions could have real consequence on the human behaviour and its evalution. This paper intends to explore the effects of these mindsets of different cultures in several aspects. The overall negative impacts caused by stereotype have been demonstrated for an array of social groups in terms of internaltinal students’ academic performance, global trade and mass tourism. This essay has examined the decreasing efficiency of students, employees and visitors abroad have resulted from the prejudice even without conscious awareness.
