In the 1985 film, The Breakfast Club, tells a story of five different kids coming from five different groups in high school. They all spend a day of detention together and end up surpassing their views of each other's specific stereotype. Some of the hours spent was by listening and learning about each other. The theme of getting to know a person for who they are instead of their specific stereotype is reflected throughout the film.
In the Wikipidia link attached, an overview of the film is shown, as well as the story of how the main characters came from different cliques. Also, I found that by reading the plot the five teens got to know each other during detention in a deeper sense instead of not talking to a person that is not like themselves. The quote comes from a letter that one of the teens wrote for their detention assignment and read aloud.
You see us as you want to see us...in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Correct? That's the way we saw each other at 7 o'clock this morning. We were brainwashed.
