A cliché is a phase which is considered overused which can be literal or figurative in meaning. Understanding popular clichés is important as it provides a deeper understanding of set phrases, however they should not be used too frequently.

We would rather prefer not to stick to clichés . Clichés are unproven “truths” created to categorise the unknown.  A lot of clichés remain since centuries and people cant get them out of their heads there are  fixed deep down inside.

I guess it is part of human nature to build an opinion about another group of people, other nationalities, another cultures or the other gender, so we think we understand how the world is working. Most of the clichés are negative and going to a different country with a negative cliché in mind and a negative picture, I guess people can always make their pre-built picture come true and think their clichés got approved, it is all a question of attitude and how you want to experience your environment. Less attention we pay to positive clichés. And that is what we should focus on or try out.

Having positive clichés or pictures in mind encountering different countries, cultures etc. we will realize that it will come true. Thinking people of a certain culture are very hospitable, that is what u will experience through your positive attitude towards them. Never focus on the negative and give the positive clichés a chance, maybe you will be surprised what can find out.
