Is your mind so small that you have to fall in with the pack wherever they roam?

Question

Why do we have to label each other? Can we exist without labels? Are labels used to discredit individuals?

Answer 1

No we can not live without labels. We are all different and if we can not live with those differences and face them then we can not move forward. Labels don't discredit,, how we react to them discredit.

Answer 2

Are you trying to label me?

Here is where logic gets abused by emotion. If a certain group of people are more likely to fit a label then they should be out there trying to fix the members of a group that are causing negative connotations.

People judge based on experience. If I get beaten up every time I go into a neighborhood filled with one kind of person and not one trys to help me then don't they deserve the judgment they get?

Answer 3

Labels can be insulting, or they can be used to differentiate one from another. Such as political parties. I am not for labeling people either. But sometimes we have to.

Answer 4

Just ask a college grad .
They will know this answer .
Just because everyone is doing sumthin one way does not make it the right way .
Remember the Civil Rights history of the USA .
It is taking many years to straighten out the country .
Still needs sum fine tuning .

Answer 5

heh, people conform.

theres nothing anyone can do to stop the superficial people from labeling everyone.

people are just gonna have to stop dressing scene and get the courage to accept that everyone is unique and different.

Answer 6

I use it to distinguish who's making a certain point of view, not to insult others. Though I do know people who constantly use "liberal" and "Commie" to try to insult others.
