I think vague generalisations, stereotypes and racial classing are commonly adopted (particularly by the youth) as they feel that it is not only acceptable, but expected from them.

However, I feel that this letter goes beyong generaliisation or stereotyping. The letter actually goes as far as the condemnation of an entire nationality of people and it's emmigrants.
To say "that is life" is to accept it, I don't thiunk we should. The truth is, this mentality should be changed.

I don't think you can condemn an entire nationality of people in any way but a 'gross generalization'.


I am just saying you shouldn't get worked up about things you can't control. And before you say that we all have the power......I am a self proclaimed cynic.
Perhaps we're just disagrreing with the definition of generalkisation.

But I feel that this extends beyong "genersaisation." I feel there is a difference between what I view as condemnation as illustrated in the above lettter and the "harmless" generalisation which occurs in general day to day life.

I feel generaalisation would cover attitudes such as "All Irish People love drinking, fighting and wear green."
However, I would take a much dimmer view ofa condemnation suh as "All Irish are worthless illeterates who contribute little to society."



















P.S. We all have the power
