The park covers over 4000 square kilometers and includes parts of two mountain ranges, over 130 named lakes, more than 1,000 different species of plants, and hundreds of species of animals. This vast pristine ecosystem is what has been referred to as the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem.The region that became Glacier National Park was first inhabited byNative Americans. Upon the arrival of European explorers, it was dominated by theBlackfeetin the east and theFlatheadin the western regions. Under pressure the Blackfeet gave up the mountainous parts of their treaty lands in 1895 to the federal government; it later became part of the park. Soon after the establishment of the park on May 11, 1910, a number of hotels and chalets were constructed. These historic hotels and chalets are listed asNational Historic Landmarksand a total of 350 locations are on theNational Register of Historic Places. By 1932 work was completed on theGoing-to-the-Sun Road, which provided greater accessibility for automobiles into the heart of the park.The mountains of Glacier National Park began forming170 millionyears ago when ancient rocks were forced eastward up and over much younger rock strata. Known as theLewis Overthrust, these sedimentary rocks are considered to have some of the finest fossilized(石化的) examples of extremely early life found anywhere on Earth. The current shapes of the LewisandLivingstonmountain ranges and positioning and size of the lakes show the evidence of massive glacial action. Of the estimated 150 glaciers(冰川) which existed in the park in the mid-19th century, only 25 active glaciers remained by 2010. Scientists studying the glaciers in the park have estimated that all the glaciers may disappear by 2030 if the current climate patterns persist.Glacier National Park has almost all its original native plant and animal species. The park has numerous ecosystems ranging fromprairietotundra. Notably, the easternmost forests ofwestern redcedar grow in the southwest portion of the park. Glacier National Park bordersWaterton Lakes National Parkin Canadathe two parks are known as theWaterton-Glacier International Peace Parkand were designated as the worlds first International Peace Park in 1932.

Glacier National Park is officially called the worlds first International Peace Park.CSeveral years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television programme Top Gear, discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish. Immediately, he said: “Thats quite an odd combination. Its like, this must be done absolutely perfectly tomorrow”.This joke played on stereotypes (刻板印象) of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy. Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions. We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy?I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being generally rather casual and more outwardly friendly than many European countries. German business people, on the other hand, are considered to be very direct and according to the website, they do not need a personal relationship in order to do business. Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.So why do some people disapprove of the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarksons joke, but not batting an eyelid when it comes to generalisations.What is the difference between the two?By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. A cultural characteristic, on the other hand, is a pattern of behaviour that is typical of a certain group.So what does thisreallymean? Stereotypes are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people. Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn. This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourists experience.If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic. This is because it is a pattern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings.In this way, some people argue that generalising another culture is not just useful, but important. Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries. By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures.However, others argue that generalising cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes. They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalising cultures and start treating people as individuals.All this raises important questions: can mak
