stereotypes

My brother in law had to attend a seminar about appropriate behavior in the work place at his new job, (everyone did), and the speaker made a very good point. The way the human brain works is to categorize all incoming information so that we can better process and understand the world around us. That makes EVERYONE a racist, EVERYONE a sexist, and EVERYONE an ageist. We automatically classify the people we meet by the apparent information about them. Nobody should feel bad for that. The only thing people should feel bad about is believing, acting on, and perpetrating the stereotypes we've grown up with in an imperfect society. right on |

we all do. it's human nature and impossible to avoid. We all have cognitive shortcuts because it would be impossible for us to process all of the information that is around us at all times. If we took the time to process every bit of information available to us, we'd never be able to function. Stereotyping and prejudging can be very harmful, but are not possible to avoid unfortunately. Its more about the type of filters we see the world through than the presence of them. exactly, and that's why i'm asking if anyone realize they do judge people and admit what type of people they judge and what they judge them about |

i know i assume things about people very often, even though it's wrong to do. do you assume anything about anyone based on things like their looks, race, and religion? what do you assume? I assume you do not know how to capitalize (i) HA! ![]() i like lower case letters. it's a thing, sorry ![]() |

Why is it?????

Well maybe some guys don't read profiles because there way to long and go on and on about how that person is so perfect or how they want this or that etc etc etc. Crazy, maybe if every body left more things out of there profile so more people have the time to get to know one another then just maybe more people would have more friends and or dates off this very site. But then again I doubt that would happen. Oooh and yeah before you think I am one of those guys who do not read peeps profiles .. your wrong, I do.. unless it's so long you wrote a book about your life and your mistakes and so much more etc. I mean some people may not have the extra time to read a book etc, about who you want or don't want in a guy or girl etc. i agree |
