The Vietnamese word "bản đúc" can be understood as "stereotype" in English. It refers to a widely held but oversimplified and generalized idea or image of a particular type of person or thing. This term is often used to describe the common perceptions or beliefs about characteristics that people assume apply to all members of a group.
In more advanced discussions, "bản đúc" can be used in contexts where you analyze how stereotypes can affect people's judgments and interactions. For example, you might say, "Bản đúc có thể dẫn đến sự phân biệt đối xử." (“Stereotypes can lead to discrimination.”)
While "bản đúc" primarily refers to stereotypes, it can also imply a fixed or rigid notion about someone or something that doesn’t allow for individual differences or changes. This can apply in various contexts, such as in education, business, or cultural discussions.
Understanding "bản đúc" is crucial in discussions about culture, society, and human behavior.
