One
thing I want to touch on that is in this chapter is "stereotyping,"
mostly because it happens anywhere and everywhere. Just as the book
says, it makes us believe what goes on around us and why. They say that we
believe Japanese are workaholics, Central Americans have lack of ambition, and
Germans are obsessed with order. Which may be true however, I just believe we
shouldn’t make those assumptions without actually knowing the people for who
they are. This goes back to people pre-judging before they even know the truth.
Which is sad, because sometimes it is true and sometimes it is not. It could
lead to wrong conclusions and others the right. My point is that although a lot
of people do it, it doesn’t make it right. Your walking down the street and you
see someone in all black clothes that are sort of goth-like, you instantly
assume that they are emotionally screwed up and hate the world. When in all
reality they could be the nicest person. Overall, it is not a nice action,
however people don’t know exactly what you are thinking.
this subject reminds me of the topic a couple weeks ago about if its possible not to judge people and categorize them when seeing them. with this topic it seem that stereotyping is more cultural based. one day i was wearing a sweat pant suit from victoria secret and had to go to hot topic to get some halloween stuff and the way the employees looked at me was insane and rude. they barely helped me with anything and i still dont know why. my only guess would be that what i was in all pink and just cause i dont have any black on or piercings on my face that makes me a preppy b****?
