The Human Stereotypes

Stereotypes are adopted thoughts that you have about specific types of people and about specific ways of thinking and doing things. More precisely, stereotypes are imprinted subconscious mental models of how to perform any activity towards fulfilling your needs, directly or indirectly. When successful and in demand, stereotypes propagate themselves to all individuals of the group, and then to all interacting groups, offering individuals the possibility of sharing all the necessary subconscious successful information needed in fulfilling their needs, and also offering subconscious information needed in coping with society and with the environment, fulfilling needs and overcoming problems. Stereotypes offer you a way to do things subconsciously, anything that anyone around you does, anything necessary for you, anything successful! Even more, all stereotypes offer you valid ways of doing things, only that these particular ways of doing things may or may not be efficient, harmful to you and others, legal and moral, yet they all work for you, and therefore you manage this way to fulfill your lower needs, through stereotypes only and not through your own reasoning! However, you are always in control of your decisions, cognitive or stereotypical, and therefore you may choose to have a flawless, legal and moral behavior, or a stereotypical one based on everything good and bad that you learn subconsciously from your colleagues and friends. Throughout this book, you will understand how stereotypes integrate within your cognitive system, how you acquire stereotypes and how you imprint them in those around you, how society uses stereotypes to manage your thinking and behavior, and how you may identify, discard, modify, or adjust you stereotypes, integrating them better this way within your cognitive system.
