"Peoples Opinion about the environment friendly vehicles"

Rituals in literal meaning are the religious actions performed in a prescribed way practiced in a particular culture from generation to generation. In a way it’s like trying to give the reality to the myths.

Stereotype meanwhile is the behavior that tends to assume certain character of a person or a thing. In other words setting an image based on the first time experience with a person or a thing and drawing its character based on that particular event is what I believe stereotype means.

To evaluate the rituals involved in environment friendly vehicles I don’t believe there exists any. Being a relatively new innovation these sorts of vehicles don’t seem to have any rituals surrounding it. Meanwhile analyzing the concept of environment friendly vehicles time to time the bicycle rallies that are conducted throughout the world with the vision of GO GREEN can be considered as a rituals relating to environment friendly vehicles. In some way these rallies are conducted regularly in recent times. Hence I believe it’s a ritual in a way.

 Considering the stereotype involved in Environment friendly vehicles there exist both the side. One side supports the use of these vehicles while the other side completely ignores having negative stereotype. Those who consider the culture of riding environment friendly vehicles believe that they are being economic while also preserving the environment and saving the fuel. In this state of time there is bound to be the shortage of fuels in some day preserving these non renewable energy sources is valuable for future prosperity, similarly environment degradation also declines. Whereas those who have negative stereotype with respect to the environment friendly vehicles presume that the uses of environment friendly vehicles are just the waste of time and physical energy and being luxurious consider them tiresome and non fancy means of transportation.

Looking at the rituals and stereotype we can know that the concepts of environment friendly vehicles are from the past. The rituals are observed from the past limited to three wheelers and bicycles which are now upgraded into comfortable four wheeler powerful vehicles. From the stereotype that exist we can acknowledge that those people having negative stereotype gain those perspective in the time when less people where concern about the degradation of the environment as the environment was in balanced state and fuel was enough. Awareness to these people will be beneficial in keeping the environment friendly and back to the state it used to be.
