Summary/Abstract: In today’s society, people often experience information overload, which can lead to the formation of stereotypical perceptions of others, groups, relationships, events, or facts. Such perceptions relieve individuals of the need to analyze issues, seek verified news, select data, and make sound judgments. Stereotypes that are stored in language are disseminated in social life, contributing to growing problems, negative behaviors, and discrimination. This study aims to identify ways to prevent cultural stereotypes by utilizing activities that are commonly used in information literacy. The study’s findings provide insights into the potential of information literacy education in preventing cultural stereotypes and promoting diversity and inclusion. This research has important implications for educators, policymakers, and the general public, as it highlights the need to prioritize information literacy education in the fight against stereotypes and discrimination.
