I feel that the Venus Hottentot brings to light many issues that are still relevant to today's society. We are constantly exploiting people. We have access to 24 hour news coverage all the time in which we can criticize everyone. Facebook is the biggest culprit of this in our society. We have access to millions people's photos in which we can judge and form stereotypes. I feel that this makes stereotyping more socially acceptable. Everyone judged the Venus Hottentot at the freak show that she was enslaved to because she had unnatural physical features . Facebook allows for people to be paraded around criticized if they are overweight, holding a beer can, the awkward random faces, how much cleavage they're showing , and so on. People need to chill out and stop being so critical all the time.
