[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1669486, member: 24816"] The way things are viewed comes largely in the sense of the old saying about walking a mile in someone else's shoes. We can think we know or at least have a pretty good idea of what is or isn't the way things are. each of our life experiences are different just as how we handle these experiences are different. It's easy to point out a perceived problem for someone else and go to the old pull up by the bootstrap adage. My views have changed on lots of things over the years. The words and descriptions that my grandparents and parents generations and many from my generation used were not acceptable in most crowds during my life. The fact that some things were offensive to some were being understood and a lot of society recognized and changed wording and stereotypes came to be not appropriate. I don't know anything about these books in the op, but probably they were published in a much different time period socially, and probably have references that are out of touch with contemporary times. The continuing of stereotypes from one generation to the next is what perpetuates a lot of problems. Most people understand that logic and try to move forward once a problematic issue has been recognized. [/QUOTE]
