Have you noticed that society has gotten more and more stuck on labels while crying out NOT to be labeled but to be free to just be?
These labels can range from deep issues regarding gender, race, sexual orientation, and political party to learning challenges, disabilities, neurodiversity, behavior, and mood for the moment.
What labels do you use in your life? Do you find comfort in labels or confinement in them?
Why do we use labels and put people into categories so much? Think about how we use labels in business, education, politics, and interactions with people.
These labels are meant to provide insight and understanding about one another. They are meant to group people into categories for two main reasons:
To create awareness of who people are and what their needs are.
To create a sense of belonging and connection within the labeled group or category.
