Blog post #1 – Why do we generalize people?

1. Hi Saachi,

   You have a very intriguing question! It is actually quite creative as well. I think reading research papers will further help you find an answer to your question.

   Some topics that may be of your interest are:
   – Capitalism
   – Number systems
   – Working population and unemployed
   – Population awareness

   Capitalism and society do go hand-in-hand – I suggest this article:

   And for more of an overview approach, consider this article by Teen Vogue:

   Looking forward to reading more!

   Warm Regards,

2. Hi Saachi,

   I like your question and I think it has good potential! You could split your rounds into something like…

   1. Why do we generalize people

   2. What is stigma and how does it relate to the generalization of groups of people

   3. What effects do assumptions/generalizations have on society

   I think by exploring stigma you could expand the umbrella of research you are going into here.

   Here are some hopefully helpful links!
