Hello all,
In the story of “Silver Blaze” Sherlock Holmes tells Watson that
many people instead of reasoning and using critical thinking when it comes to figuring
out a problem they use their own opinions and assumptions of people or
situations. I agree with Holmes in this regard because I see this all the time.
I feel that people find it easier to just use their opinions and assumptions
over actually thinking about what the real situation could be. Being in the
Greek system at San Jose State I see this a lot. Many people within the Greek system will base
some ones personality based on the house they are in or just the way the person
dresses. Almost every sorority and fraternity have a stereotypes connected to their
letters. I have seen many people go up to someone and treat them with
disrespect just because the letters they are wearing on their shirt. It is a
shame that this exists within the Greek system because a lot of the stories
that are told that make these stereotypes are often rumors and not based off of
true facts.

Hey Mike,
ReplyDeleteBeing greek as well, I can agree with your post. People often judge others based on what house they are in. A lot of people think just because your in this house, everyone acts the same and does the same things. We are all individual human beings and it sucks that many stereotypes come from the greek system. As I said, in my own post a lot of gossip does spread around and no one ever comes up to the person for clarification. It should not matter about what house you come from, but the matter of fact that everyone is greek and that is stronger than a lot of bonds.
