What is a song that is about a It must be school-appropriate.
It just needs to have a
stereotype for either a male
or female, such as how all men
want is sex or women play
around with men's hearts.
Something like that. Thanks

Well, there's "Boys and Girls" by Good Charlotte. The hook is, "Girls don't like boys girls like cars and money". Also, "Fairytale" by Sara Bareilles speaks about the cliche woman portrayed in old tales. See the lyrics at http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics /sarabareilles/fairytale.html |

stereotyping is typically an immediate concisous or subconcious description of someone and their behaviors. for most people, they do it immediately and don't recognize what they are doing. The bad thing about stereotypes is that once you have categorized someone into a particular role or class, then every action taken by the stereotyped person that is observed by you becomes a self fullfilling prophecy. You will only recognize the traits that fit the stereotype, which renforce the stereotype and ignore the traits that go against the stereotype. |

Do you believe the stereotype After all, we consumers can
see the invoice price on the
internet. We can learn about
rebates, incentives and dealer
holdback on the internet. Is
the information age changing
the car sales industry? Or was
the whole stereotype just a
myth based on consumers being
at a disadvantage on
information?
By the way...I've been
pleasantly surprised with some
of recent my experiences with
car salesmen.

People like Vis are locked into a perception, and nothing will ever change that. I have been in car sales almost 15 yrs. I have seen just about everything change. Mostly for the better for all of us. The access consumers have to more, and better, information has created a different marketplace from what it was in the "old days". As you said, consumers can be better educated now, and hopefully make better decisions. Online banking has allowed people to apply and secure the best possible financing. So - when it comes to all of us car salesmen being shady characters - has that changed? I know that peolpe like the first poster wish we all stood around in capes and top-hats, twirling our respective handlebar mustaches. Perception is a difficult thing to change, and some may never change. I work very hard to make sure all my customers have the best experience and get the best deal for ALL of us. It has to make sense on both sides of the table before its a deal. I learned a long time ago the difference between a sales professional, and the type of person Vis is referring to. A professional - like me - will work hard for every customer, and make sure they leave happy. That customer will send me his.her friends and family, and will buy from me again. I stay at one dealership for years - not lot hop like the others who burn bridges every 6 months. But another problem is that buyers take no responsibility and blame it all on that dastardly salesman! They come to me, upside down on a car, buried, no cash, and want a new car. I can explain all day long that this is a tough deal, and not in their best interest. They do it anyway, so I work for a week getting a bank to take this massive over advance. Finally, we have a lender, the deal is done. 6 months later, I am the biggest jerk on earth because they owe $10k more than the car is worth. People need to make smart financial decisions on their own. complaining when we sell you a car that you ASKED to buy, is like complaining that McDonalds sold you all those hamburgers. We are - by and large - hard working, good people. We have a job to do, families to support, and bills to pay too. I find I can do all of that without being the villain, but I know that some will always see it that way. Such is life - cant change everyone, just one person at a time. |

Why such a harsh stereotype I've had a few dealings with
those from Northern states,
and according to them the
general understanding is that
those from the South are
ignorant. One of my Northern
friends even said that he was
surprised, upon moving down,
to realize that we had cities
and electricity! Another
Northern man that I worked for
claimed that he was surprised
we could read!
Why the odd stereotype? I know
our accents may be a bit slow,
but that doesn't mean we are
slow, too; in fact, the South
houses many of the greatest
universities in the nation.
Can anyone explain this?

You just happen to have ignorant Northern friends babe. I'm from the North, and the only thing that stands out to me about Southerners is that accent . I love a Southern accent. Of course, you guys think that WE have the accent... |

Allot of people speak out of ignorance that is why racism and other forms of discrimination thrive. People also need to realize teen includes young adults 17-19 who may be married living happy successful lives, seems like they automatically lump all in the 16 and under crowd and do not take into account there are teens who are legal and grown adults. If you check the newspapers there are more than enough unfit mothers in any age group. Peoples mouths and brains are not always connected when they speak. I say ignore the ignorant and see them as the unintelligent people they are. |
