Stereotypes

Today in class we watched a video about stereotypes and how physical attractiveness effects peoples confidence and future success. One particular aspect of the video centered on if Blonde's are considered more successful based solely on their hair. It reminded me of the time my older sister and her friend held car washes on the same day. Back home we live in a busy neighborhood and know everyone. So when she and her cheerleader friends decided to have two competing car washes on the same day and same culdesac, they divided the girls up by hair color. Brunette vs. Blonde, my sister was the leader on the Brunette team. Contrary to the belief that blonde's are more successful, my sister and her brunette friends won the contest by about $20. I am sure their were other factors at work in this situation but i found it interesting.
