Post 2 chap 18

Another thing that I found interesting in chapter eighteen was about stereotypes. We all know that growing up especially in high school that we are placed into certain categories. The book stated an example about African Americans falling deeper into their stereotypes because they are more focused on their egotism. This correlates with a lot of things, especially   to the fact that our society is always consumed on the amount of likes we get on facebook or what people think or say about us. Although I strongly believe that society as a whole affects the stereotype growth, I also think there are other factors; one being the fact that if you hang out with a certain stereotype such as the typical “stoner” group, you will be more influenced by those kinds of actions. This also can hold true to groups such as sororities with their pride for their group. I don’t think that it always has to have a bad outcome but stereotypes can keep other people from branching which can then isolate them into that one world. Although there are certain types of personalities that hang out with one another I wish there was more integration with people without the fact of what club, race, gender they are. I think that it would really make the world a better place and no one would feel so judged.
