Hey!

Today, you first corrected your homework:

Here is what you said about the origins and consequences of stereotypes:

 Some people think they are superior to others. What's more, they are scared by differences between different groups of people : the "Fear of the Unknown" can lead to xenophobia and racism. People who have stereotypes make people responsible for problems / blame people for their problems so they are scapegoats.

Hey!

Today, you studied a new example of society and explained what makes it so particular:

Here is what you said about it:

The text deals with a future society in London where people don't use money. It's about a conversation between a boatman and the narrator who wants to pay the waterman for his service which consists in carrying him accross the Thames. However, the boatman is puzzled/bewildered because he doesn't know how to manage money. Moreover, money is a source of trouble. So, it's a cultural misunderstanding.

Thirteen years later, we still use money, so, the future society of 2003 is a utopia.
