Now that this project is coming to an end it’s time to hatch my head open and take a look about all the little goodies I collected. One thing I’ve noticed in Fairfield County is that the wealthier sections are mainly populated by caucasians while the not so wealthy sections are populated by darker skin minorities. The ones with bigger houses, nicer cars and more time on their hands tends to be white people while the ones living in condos, apartments and much smaller houses tend to be minorities. While in Darien I hardly ever saw any hispanics unless they were traveling the bus/train or working at a construction site. Though these stereotypes are racist and negative it’s based on some truth.
Food establishments and stores with the nicer service and overall environment tend to be made for caucasians. Places that hispanics, african americans, asians, (other minorities) frequented at don’t always get the smiling and sweet employees or the clean spacious floors because honestly, the managers of these places don’t feel the need to impress them. Nor do they value their patronage. Why can’t we all have equal service? Should we really have people serving others? Even if it’s just waitressing or greeting people, it involves belittling yourself in some way, shape or form and nobody should have to do that.
In terms of high school I see that the idea of social groups and cliques portrayed in movies do exist. However it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Who wants to go to school with a bunch of clones that mindlessly act like zombies. Sure cliques don’t sound that great-actually it sounds really distasteful but it’s part of high school and you can’t run away from that. Unless you drop out but that’s a really bad idea.
And there’s got to be some kind of hidden agenda behind the repetitive cartoon specials during Christmas time. hose big corporate leaders are thinking of a lot more than just quality family time.
Overall, this project was very interesting. I will continue to observe Fairfield county in hopes of uncovering the truth of the world. Good day.

And a good day to you. Thoughtful observations, Karen. And they aren't stereotypes if you're just recording your observations.
