Analyzing Racial, Sexual and Gender based Stereotypes in western media culture.
Firmin Didot was a French printer, engraver and type founder born in Paris, France. Didot was born in a family of printers, in France, and he later on in life he chose to follow the legacy of printing that was started by his grandfather, Francios Didot. Firmin, in 1798 recorded the first usage of the term “Stereotype”. In his printing business, Firmin referred to any plate that would facilitate copying or duplicating a pre-existing typing pattern, as a Stereotype. In the printing business today, the use of a “Stereotype plate”, or a duplicate plate is still prevalent. Even today, it is generally used to replicate an original piece of printing, or print an existing pattern multiple times. Although, in 1850, the word “Stereotype” was used for the first time in a non-printing context. In the spoken word then, Stereotype was used as a noun to define an image, or an idea, that could or had continued for a long time, without change. The Etymological roots of Stereotype originates from two different Greek words, stereos; meaning firm or solid, and typos; meaning an impression. Hence, for the larger part of human knowledge, Stereotypes have always been used to define a solid impression of anything. Today, the word stereotypes has the same literal meaning, but a very social connotation.

So, when I was stuck on my current NaNoWriMo project, I figured that I might as well distract myself by clearing a few things up.
