Labels can give us a sense of order and they can also be related to judgement. We tackled labels and how we feel about them. We talk about why they can be important for some of us and how they shape our perception when it comes to race, looks, and personality to name a few. We sometimes label people that we have never spoken to, some we barely know at all. These labels can create bias, stereotypes, and fear and may keep us making solid connections. Labels can also motivate us to set greater expectations and meaningful goals, and build more positive characteristics. Good or bad, labels represent an influence on identity and many times it is beyond our control.
