Run-On Sentences
If we did not use proper punctuation we would always have run-on sentences which would cause us to be out of breath and so we need to use punctuation appropriately in order to be clear about what we are saying and so that we do not bore our audience or gasp for breath as we are speaking which even though it would be hilarious for others sometimes would not be fun in the grand scheme of things…!

Stereotypes
People often use labels or categories to describe others
These can be based on such characteristics as clothing, looks, and the way a person talks
Categorizing things or people is a natural human inclination
BUT people often make assumptions about groups of people they don't even know
Example: What are some stereotypes that Canadians tend to
hold about Americans? Vice versa?
Rick Mercer talking to Americans

Do assumptions apply to everyone in a group?Do most people hold the same assumptions

about a categorized individual?How do assumptions affect your behavior
toward others?
Why these exist
When we make assumptions about an entire group of people, those assumptions are referred to as stereotypes
When assumptions and stereotypes influence our attitudes, we may find that making a fair judgement about someone or something is difficult.
This influence on judgement is called a "bias."
