9. Role of educational institutions: Educational inequality leads 
to bias and discrimination. High standards of educational 
experience, should be available to every student. In addition 
schools and colleges have to deal with so many other situations 
that cause prejudice and hatred. Efforts to address bias, 
prejudice and discrimination should be comprehensive in 
nature.
Conclusion :
There is no single correct way to eliminate stereotypes. And 
indeed it is not possible to eliminate all stereotypes. In fact 
sometimes stereotypes help to add humor in our lives. It is only 
when the stereotypes result in harmful, negative attitudes that leads 
to hatred and discrimination and takes away the ability to see 
reason then the stereotype becomes detrimental to society.
