Explanation:
According to the passage, "Aesop's Life", a narrator described the story of Aesop and how he was supposedly a slave who was good with words and could talk his way out of trouble by telling stories relating to the present trouble he was in.
Aesop was said to have been cured of some sort of disability by supernatural forces but was violently put to death when he was thrown off a cliff for allegedly stealing.
The effect of the anecdote of Aesop's death is that the life of Aesop would forever remain a mystery.
The United States of America was one of the first countries to historically become a center for cultural diversity, due to the high amounts of immigration it recorded - specially in New York.
Given that many contrasting traditions and physical characteristics could be found among the numerous ethnicities within the population, the most ancient of americans found themselves socially inclined to find a tag for each one of these sets of individuals. Whether it was skin colour, tendencies, outfit style, religious beliefs, or historical background, the stereotypes started emerging from local gossips, and were passed through generations of social constructs and mass media publicity to this day - an epoch when most of these categorizations are stigmatyzed, but live on through the legacy of the elder generations nonetheless.
