Opg. 1 Essay/Ovs culture My daily life is constantly influenced by other cultures, because almost everywhere I go Im constantly bombarded with traveling commercials, foreign movies, music, food and people and much more because we are a country of mixed nationalities.

But with foreign people you are quicker to form a stereotype because they talk another language and are different, so you create this distance to them and starts to judge them from what you can see, without actually talking to Them so you start forming this stereotype to them, for an example all there is a stereotype for middle eastern teens, that they are repels that act tuff and are usually not very smart, but then again that’s because people maybe only have been influenced by that kind of stereotype, which is wrong because I know some that aren’t like that, but I could imagine that, that’s how some people judge them.
