Hulu Gunsmoke Episode

  On Hulu i have noticed that the stereotypes on the Gunsmoke episode are of cowboys, the chief said no one but the marshall dylan can see the paper , they used the guy for a paper. the farmer is another stereo type that it means that farmers have bad mood if your trying to go on their lawn. They try to control the farmer they give him minutes to move out because they want to take his land by building a rail road. The woman is another stereo type of a sensible woman.

Those are all different kinds of stereotypes, one much different then the other one.

Stereotypes In The United States Of America

  Stereotypes are so widely known by so many in our society because so much people in the base of what they hear and what they know they tend to believe it. For example, the society says that people with blonde hair are dumb. That is a lie, not a fact. Another example is that all Asian people are smart. Also people use labels or categories to describe others and how these labels can be judged on characteristic of their clothing, the way they talk, looks and the way they act.

The Importance Of History In Our Life

 History really matters in our life because without it we wouldn't know of the past and we wouldn't be were we are now. The reason why is because everything that happens around us, believe it or not , it's all history. It is also the basis on which human evolution takes place. For example, when they say that a long time ago we were not human we looked like monkeys, they were called hominids , great apes and placental mammals. Without history we wouldn't know that. Another reason is that it also improves our understanding of other societies and cultures. No matter what, without history we would be very small minded people and also very ignorant, that's why history matters.

An example would be when it says that the pilgrims eat with the Wampanoag indians at thanksgiving and that's a lie. Good quotes like, "Imagine what you will 'know' tomorrow". The  thought that any scientifically or even semi scientifically minded person can be 100% certain of the facts of today, even the people relating to soft science.
