Gunsmoke :D "The Devil's Outpost"

Some of the stereotypes I seen in this episode were the old fashioned cowboy look, with the guns, hats, and horses. There was also a sheriff and a bad guy, or robber, and a little town with the jail and a saloon. The robbers had done stereotypical things with the whole holding up an stagecoach and robbing them of their money at gun point. Just how the western days are portrayed in most stereotypes.

Stereotypes in todays society.

Stereotypes are commonly known, i think, because of racism. Also i think it could be because of comedy. A lot of comedians and jokes that are used today refer to stereotypes. A lot of them are very inappropriate and offensive to some races. But with the jokes that have been going around they get told to younger generations and that is why the stereotypes are so common in today's society.

Dictatorship?...I think NOT!!

I agree with Thoreau and his quote about "A government is best which governs least." I agree with that because as long as the government is still keeping the people in line and things run smoothly. Then there is no need for them to be overly strict. With that comes a lot of rebellion and riots. So as long as they government is doing their job with out over doing it then things should be ok.

Should countries leave pieces of their history out, especially that which is negative, when documenting these stories? Explain

I believe that countries should share all information of their history. Even if it is about defeats and bad things that they have done in the past that they might not be proud of, at least the people will know all the things we have faced and overcome in our history. For example, Germany might not tell their people about the Holocaust and all the lives that the Nazi's took. But it is still a huge part of German history and the people should be taught about it even if they were in the wrong during that era. There will always be things that we are not proud of doing and we wouldn't like no one to know about, but its how we learn from our mistakes and move forward.

Should we change the way we teach younger students about the history of the United States? Explain.

I think that we should teach the younger students about the truth with history. I feel its easier to tell them and let them understand at a young age instead of lie to them till they reach the 11th grade, and then tell them the truth. I mean most of the things that we have been made to believe would actually be easier if we had learned the truth. Like making up the stories of the explorers finding new land and taking it over while having a good relationship with the natives? When in all actuality they were pillaging their homes, killing their men, and raping their women. Its harsh to tell the younger generation but its better then telling them that they were all holding hands and singing songs.
