Today we discuss common misconceptions about social. 

Cowboy hats were not popular in the western frontier. Stetson hats didn't become popular until the end of the nineteenth century. 

Marie Antoinette did not say "let them eat cake". 

Immigrants' last names were not Americanized at Ellis Island. 

It is rarely necessary to wait twenty four hours to file a missing person report. Many times the sooner the better. 

The US does not require a police officer to identify themselves during a sting and are allowed to lie in the process of a sting or undercover work. 

Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence day. 

The common image of Santa was not created by Coca Cola company. He already had his modern image long before Coke started using his image in the 1930s.

The Great Wall of China is not the only man-made object visible from space. 

These are just some of our common social misconceptions - can you think of others?
