LABELS

I grew up learning to budget monthly for household supplies and provision shopping. Specific brands were a staple in our home due to the quality of their reputation. The most important items on the labels were the expiry date. My mom would always ask "did you check the expiry date?"

Another label of importance was the price. Over time I noticed that products with closer expiry date were more affordable when compared with the same product that had a longer expiry date.

A product with a label will sell more than one without a label. Varying elements on the label and the design component of the packaging also influence consumer habit.

"Gen Z" is fast becoming a term that is often synonymous to an energetic, youthful, tech savy and social class of young people. Regardless of the positive reputation that precedes this class of generation, there are also ill behaviours that are categorically classified as associated with the generation in question.

The internet has created a growing need for validation, tribes, clans, community and acceptance. Forcing people to meet unrealistic and often times unethical classifications just "to belong" or "feel among".

You are first human before you are anything else. You are first human before you are Gen Z!

Gen Z is not a personality type! Gen Z is not a personality type neither a personality disorder!

PS: I promise, I am not shouting my thoughts are.

Our flaws make us human. Recognising our flaws and taking responsibility for our actions make us responsible humans.

In a world where labels are used to invoke sympathy, crave validation and feel loved be cautious of the label that you put on yourself.

Have a PhD in yourself. Understand who you are, take a personality test, understand your attachment styles, heal and maximize your strengths will improving on other areas of your life.

Keep your mind open till you hear my next thoughts,

D Oracle!
