What is Important?
Something i feel that is important for people to be aware of is the way stereotyping can affect people in many ways, and why we should stop it but probably never will. As we have talked about a little bit in class stereotyping is something that happens all the time no matter the reason, and can be a product of a lot of different peoples cultures and environment. As we have also learned stereotyping can be used as a way of lying to basically use it as an excuse to blame another person or group of people for someone else's mistakes. I feel it is important for people to realize when events like this are taking place because once stereotyping is recognized it will become easier to prevent. With that being sad i feel like stereotyping will always be an issue as long as there are different groups of people, different cultures, and people with different beliefs. People do this everyday without even realizing what they are doing so to a lot of people its not important or a big problem. I think because stereotyping can be such a small thing people overlook it when it has a major effect, and its can also hard to determine when a stereotype is actually a stereotype and not the truth. That is the biggest reason i think it will never stop because to certain groups of people its the truth and to others its just the opposite. This is a topic that i myself want to learn more about and feel that other people should have some similar interest as me.
