Stock character

A stock character is a fictional character that relies heavily on cultural types or stereotypes for its personality.

Primary and secondary socialisation

Primary socialisation- the process by which children learn the cultural norms of the society into which they are born. Occurs usually in a family.
Secondary socialisation- Behavioural patterns reinforced by socialising agents of society EG school or religion.

Stereotypes

Stereotypes are socially constructed beliefs, ideas or opinions about specific social groups or types of individuals. A stereotype is used to categorise a group of people. The majority of people don't understand that type of person, so they put them into classifications thinking that everyone who is that or similar to that needs to be like that, or anyone who acts like the classification is one.
