metadata.value: Stereotypes constitute an important means of explaining past and present reality. Therefore,
  they are a significant component of consciousness of all times and places. In this context, stereotypes
  have always been associated with the conscious propaganda of contemporary power
  centers. In practice, they enable not only to degrade competitors, but above all they occupy a
  permanent place in the mass consciousness. In the end, these efforts aim at embedding stereotypical
  beliefs about the value or anti-value of certain individuals, social groups and entire
  nations. Moreover, even when the validity of a given propaganda wanes, the once-established
  stereotype remains alive. The contemporary stereotype of Polish nobility is not only a product
  of our time. Old Polish preachers, intellectuals of bourgeois and peasant origin, anti-Polish
  spokesmen and antinobility propaganda promoted during the partitions, as well as architects
  of the post-war political system who made the nobility the number one enemy worked within
  this frame of mind. The final effect is a clearly negative image of a modern nobleman. To a
  large extent, it has been based on an equally negative stereotype. It is confirmed by a survey
  conducted in the selected groups of high school students, university students and PhD
  students. The same conclusions can be made on the analysis of school textbooks and direct
  observation of media communication on educational portals. They all comprise a collective
  portrait of native nobility, in which flaws take precedence over merits, while the slogan that
  has been popular nowadays — “the nobility does not work” — should be considered the essence
  of antinobility myth.
