Stereotypes and Totality

In class we looked at the question “Let us wage a war on totality,” and applied it to stereotypes that we have from the Rollins community level to further. We established that there are stereotypes that range of everything, or the totality. The question was posed, “are stereotypes negative?” In my opinion I think it is based on your own personal beliefs and then you can categorize people. Unfortunately, people often accept the general stereotype of what they hear from other people to base what they believe a group or a person is. When Leyotard says, “let us wage war,” I believe he is saying let us go against and try to change these beliefs. This would be not categorizing people based on what greek organization they are live, or where they live determining who a person actually is. I believe that there is some truth in certain stereotypes, but it doesn’t necessarily take the meaning for everyone as a whole.
