It's in our nature to put a label on people, to help us form opinions and make decisions. When we are on the receiving end of that generalisation we can see just how unfair it is, and how our own individuality is disregarded. We'll never stop generalising, but it's good to recognise we're doing it. Agreed Kyle. It’s in our nature to put a label on people, to help us form opinions and make decisions.

If we assume everyone fits a particular mold, it is easy to handle. It's really hard to treat everyone as a new individual with a clean slate, even if that is what we should do.
