It's like gas; man

Stereotypes, our desire to fill them, and why we act this way

A very limited understanding of physics and or chemistry yields an interesting fact. A gas fills any container it is put in. Much like the countless mental processes that can be related to the physical world, humans also fill any container they're put in. Not physically but metaphysically. The human mind is a delicate machine with a processer stronger than our own ethics. When the incoming information stream is corrupted by modern obscenities, we do things that even the most conscious person wouldn't expect. We fill stereotypes. Because of a certain factor humans, can, have, and will pick up habits and ways of doing things. Whether it's dressing, or driving, we have our idiosyncrasies. Now because of the scientific curiosity instilled in our genes by our ancestors, we observe, and report. Now is where we see an elegant connection. Someone who does something different than the observer, is noticed, because the situation has a differing factor. Not necessarily bad or good. As time goes on this stereotype(if it turns in to common knowledge) will be something that (whether it is offensive or not) describes a certain population. Now is where the elegance hits a rough patch(but it will be back). Because of the human condition to kill instead of being killed many stereotypes are nasty. This may seem like it involves a lack of elegance. But in fact it has quite a bit. If you divide stereotypes in to negative and neutral stacks, people who follow the negative stereotypes are chastised, yet the followers of the neutral stereotypes is a growing group. That is because people point out differences. The reason the stereotypes started in the first place. If someone follows a stereotype, they wont be different if their respective group is one identified with stereotype.  So human nature creates, and continues stereotypes. If you are different than the observer and any other subjects, you will be noticed. Whether it be courting a hopeful suitor, or be applying to college. The differences catch the eye. The individuality, and originality of your soul, shows the world who you are, but people subconsciously change it. Because our nature tells us that no one wants to be alone in their habits.
