Stereotypical Lying

Lying is a factor that is mostly influenced by past exposure to such lies. A very common lie that most people are exposed to is stereotypes. Stereotypes are created because people want to hide cultural lies. They want to hide the fact that societal situations are causing segregation and racism to arise again. Homosexuals, Jews, feminism, racism, sexism, and many other topics are all factors of stereotype. Society is conformed to the idea that these groups are threatening or unacceptable due to the past. Today's older generation did not grow up experiencing homosexuality and feminism on the scale that we do today. Through this process of being excluded from the societal norm that we deal with today, a lot of lying comes to play. We judge woman as being weak an powerless. We judge homosexuals and accuse them of sin and tell them that they are going to hell. This is all because we were raised being lied to. We were raised being taught they this is how we should view people of certain characteristics and that through time, the group can only get worse.
