[QUOTE="bèlla, post: 74645676, member: 416395"] Our associations are the result of upbringing and exposure. If the lone exposure you’ve had to either group is media representations and limited encounters in public spaces you’ll have a different perspective from a person who regularly interacts with them. ‘Typical’ may be the result of media perceptions or personal engagements. To assume either is unwise. It’s best to ask. Reading a book on tennis won’t turn you into Serena Williams. Knowledge has its place. Putting our thoughts into action through experiences allows us to test our theories and challenge our beliefs. When I consider the two I’m drawing from a cornucopia of experiences in my environment, friendships, personal and business interactions and encounters with individuals in my neighborhood. That’s my yardstick. Not random musings of a scholar or supposed expert. I’m not drawing from cases or studies whose criteria and subjects I don’t know. My conception of the two is deeply influenced by what I know. Not opinions. Oftentimes generalizations are devoid of the same. [COLOR=#00b3b3]~Bella[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
