Sandals Vs. Gym Shoes

The activity we did in class today was cool to see the kind of "facts or judgements" the gym shoe side had on the sandal side. It was interesting to see the difference between the facts and judgements that were made because everyday people make generalizations without thinking them through, and without realizing they are judging someone. This also relates to the article"Should we Generalize about People?"because there is a difference when it comes down to accurate generalizations and when you start to stereotype. We have to be careful with what we say, because our words are the most impacting thing that can cause something to be a fact or judgement. I agree with the article when it is saying we have to use our past experiences to label the future. If we have made a simple mistake in the past, we now can learn from that mistake and make sure not to make it again when the same problem shows up in our future. We make unaccurate generalizations everyday without even knowing it.

I thought this experiment was fun and interesting to hear all of the different groups people wrote down. I never really realized that within a group, there can be someone called the "leader". It was also funny when we brought up the color of my hair, and talking about how there is a myth that there will be no more red heads in 10 years. Creepy!
