Elder people have answers

It is common for people to care much about age from all angles. And this stereotype is about those people that believe in wisdom of anility. They say that old people are wise people and they have answers for all questions and they can help those who are younger. Indeed, they can help young people, though it is not the wisdom of anility that make them of that kind but it is a wisdom of a person that makes him or her wise and provide with all those answers. See, in case a person is smart and intelligent and attentive to this life around him or her, such a person can draw conclusions and with those conclusions learn the whole nature of this life. But, there are people that never learn lessons of this life and they never think over things that happened to them. They only live this life the way they can and so there are o answers they have and there is no wisdom and there is nothing at all. It is not the anility that provides people with wisdom and answers, but they are people themselves and anility only multiples that experience of people.

Your mistakes are friends but not enemies

We all try not to make mistakes because we consider only fools and unlucky persons are able to make them. But it is a mistaken consideration. After all, everybody makes errors. Monarchs, billionaires and generals also do. But they meet every mistake not with blame but with a detailed study of its causes and, most importantly, its implications. Any person who achieved success says that his path was lying through obstacles overcoming and errors correcting. And for them a mistake is rather a friend than an enemy! If they were afraid of getting into troubles, or worse, when having made a mistake, stopped acting they would not be able to become successful persons, would not be learned at their own experience which is the most invaluable!

Psychologists have general opinion: if you want to reach certain heights in your life, you should always remember the rule: try, make a mistake, and then try again! But your mistakes could be fatal if you do not understand them. Therefore, you should work on problem, it is not less important than problem itself. Try for at least once a week to make work on your errors. Try to find 7-10 errors in your affairs, write them, and think about them: how could you amend the situation and correct your troubles. Find benefits from your mistakes and remember: without them there is no growth.

The stereotypes that hip hop music has

Hip hop music must be the one genre of music that gets a lot of stereotypes. A great art and very entertaining, hip hop music is listened to world wide. Where the stereotypes are formed is by the music videos these hip hop artist make to promote their music. Most of these videos portray hip hopers in a very negative way. Being mostly black people, these music videos suggest that all black skinned people act in the way that the hip hop artist and cast of these music videos act. This is totally misleading, but who do we blame?

 

Hip hop music videos generate loads of money each year. A typical hip hop video will show women in bikinis, guys drinking and smoking some drugs, gang activities and explicit sexual content. Stereotypes are then created from these music videos that all black persons just drink and smoke all day and are all about stripping. Sometimes children are around in these videos which make people stereotype black people as a group who don’t care for their children.

 

Although these hip hop videos are quite in your face, there is something about a night around a camp fire that just won’t make it to a hip hop video. In order to sell hip hop music, the artists say that it is necessary for them to place explicit content in their videos. Regardless of the stereotypes that accompany these clips, the music video industry is a business and their intention is not to portray black persons in a bad light, but merely to generate money.

Stereotypes word

Stereotypes exist just as much in this world as bigotry, prejudice, and any other name you wish to call it. It’s there, and most of us have some notion of the stereotype that we fit into. Sometimes we embrace our own stereotypes just to complete an image. Sometimes we simply don’t understand why we have been assigned a stereotype in the first place. Our lives are dictated by the need to prove something when it comes to stereotypical behavior, and yet we claim we don’t care about what other people say about us.

Being the victim of a stereotype only needs to bother you if there is some part of you that believes it is true. When you know that your clothes, your race, your religion, your sexual orientation, or the way you walk down the street truly have nothing to do with the image you give to the world, a stereotype will no longer bother you.

We all have an image and we all do something that either embraces that image or enhances that image. We can not portray any specific image without catering to the stereotype. In other words, if you don’t want to hear the words that echo the stereotype, take a look in the mirror and ask yourself what image you are presenting to the world. Why would someone offer you their stereotypical opinion if you weren’t exuding something image related? In most cases, we either intentionally or unintentionally offer the world part of the stereotype every time we get dressed in the morning. It only matters if you believe it’s true.
