Exploring the concept of alterity and diversity, this seminar paper argues that life would lack excitement without these elements. Stereotypes serve a dual purpose; they can help organize our understanding of the world but become harmful when relied upon exclusively. The paper discusses the importance of using stereotypes as a starting point for deeper recognition and evaluation of individuals, emphasizing the need for flexibility in our perceptions to avoid the destructive nature of fixed stereotypes.
