}WN Entry: Patterns in the world:

}“We all know we are unique individuals, but we tend to see others as representatives of groups. It’s a natural tendency, since we must see the world in patterns in order to make sense of it; we wouldn’t be able to deal with the daily onslaught of people and objects if we couldn’t predict a lot about them and feel that we know who or what they are.”     -Deborah Tannen

}Respond to this: Do you agree? Why yes/no? What parts? What is the benefit of looking for patterns? What gets lost when we view the world like this? When is it harmful or offensive to see others as representatives of groups?
