Why so many Steriotypes??

Steriotypes...steriotypes are so widely known  by so many people around the world because they have probably existed since the beggining of time, unfortunenatly. Stereotypes are generalizations, or assumptions, that people make about the characteristics of all members of a group, based on an image (often wrong) about what people in that group. For instance I have hispanic features so people immediatly assume i speak Spanish which is wrong I speak English ,but because I look hispanic to others they immediatly conclude I speak the language.Thats a small steriotype.
A bigger steriotype: during slavery ,all plantations in the south had 200 slaves or more,these slaves made baby slaves for this gigantic plantation while picking cotton or working on something hard and exhausinting and being fored which the labor part is probably true most likely a definite. but the whole plantation owned hundreds upon hundreds of slaves prospering off  their labor is not true. most plantations in the south maybe had tops four or five slaves that would most likely would end up mating and making  more baby slaves to grow up and work also once their parents are gone.
Another steriotype is that all plantation owners looked like southern pimps with there nice white suit and pimped out cane which  is most likely to be untrue.the plantation owner i can bet did not look like he was superfly he owned his slaves yes but most likely he was having a hard time to getting by so the white suit is out of the question. i think the plantation owners and the slaves ,when it came to poverty were on the same boat only differnce is that one man is white and one man is black.
Steriotypes have been going on forever and they probably will till the last man walks on earth. i can think of some many steriotypes in my life today. people think because the can see you and see what you look like that they can make assumptions on what you look like in the inside or immediatly assume because you look or live a certain way you have to do the certain things that are associated with that. people atomatically assume that if you look it you are it.

"Goverment is best which governs least"

When Thoreau said "a goverment is best which governs least" I think he meant that a goverment that wasnt so part of the peoples life would govern the best for the people.For instance there are some goverments that are completly involved in its peoples everyday life ,and living style ,and there is some goverments that gives freedom where freedom is needed( to an lovely extent America home of the free).I think that if a goverment is to involved in the peoples life ,I mean down to the core of their being, then that is not a good thing to have.People deserve freedom and privacy. A goverment that is involved but not to a nosey piont is actaully for the people and if the goverment governs less then the people are more of the goverment in the goverment.people are the goverment is what im trying to say. Thats how i see it at least . Basically what im trying to get at is that a goveremnt that that doesnt show  its all for the politics and more for the people are usually a more succeessfull goverment.People tend to like the govermnet with freedom more.
