Hello Hive Learners Community! Welcome to my blog. No Doubt, Technology And Modernism helped us to rectify many wrong beliefs and assumptions in our society. Now people aren't afraid of Thunderstorms as they were hundreds of years ago. There were different wrong beliefs about it. People believe in logic, a good sign, and courtesy of Technology, Science, and Research. There was a time when an assumption was made by a specific group of people and it was followed rightly for centuries. No one could dare to oppose it. These stereotypes are, although common nowadays, people have the power to nullify them just by social media or by ChatGPT, that have answered many things.
Why Conservative Families Are More Stereotypes?
Although I belong to a religious family but it is more conservative. My family has a habit of following some wrong beliefs strictly. As I grew, I did my best to rectify them, but I faced criticism and threats. Stereotypical assumptions like men don't cry, women are more timid, Asians are good at mathematics, and black people are good at sports. These are just assumptions, and things vary a lot when we research different groups of people.
There was a time when my family liked to break coconuts in newly constructed rooms just because it would bring good omen for us. With Study, I came to realise it was just assumptions and nothing. Coconut can't bring good omen for us. Moreover, we are wasting money and this precious dry fruit as well. I emphasized to my family to spend this money on poor families instead of wasting it on coconuts that you are going to discard.
Similarly, young people are more ignorant than older people. My father has been abroad for years. I've been managing the house for years. I'm running our Real Estate Businesses. Alhamdulillah, all things are running smoothly. I proved that young people or teenagers are not irresponsible. My family now trusts me a lot. They now don't believe that young people are irresponsible.
If Stereotypes are getting fame in our family or in our region, it can be deadly because it gives rise to terror in our society. 1st, we need to give clarification about it, then we educate people as well.
Final Thoughts
We are now in the advanced era, but we are still living with Stereotypes. We are unable to eradicate them from our society. Everything happens due to a specific reason and we don't believe in someone's wrong beliefs and assumptions. Taking a bath in a river will not make us young. These are just myths designed by the people. We should fight for the right. We should use our minds before accepting anything. People don't like to do research nowadays, hence rumours spread like fire. It is an era of Artificial Intelligence, and many fake videos are running on social media. If we assume things without logical consequences then we are doing things wrong.
