Our Titles/Labels Are Hindering Our Interactions

Our Titles/Labels Are Hindering Our Interactions

First of all, allow me to point out that when speaking of the fields of medicine and law in the beginning of this video, I meant to say OBJECTIVE and not SUBJECTIVE as I referenced the work done (generally speaking, as compared to other fields). In this video, I talk about how I believe our labels and titles are hindering our ability to communicate most effectively with one another beginning with how they affect us individually. If you have spent the majority of your adult life rising up and engaging in the world based on labels, it is extremely difficult to understand who you REALLY are and to see your absolute uniqueness. In places like hospitals and the military, I acknowledge the need for hierarchy given the immediate life and death scenarios at hand. However, in the world at large, I believe we need to begin to move away from our immense reliance upon these identifications. They have given many a false belief of being ‘better than’ or ‘less than’ and as such, GREATLY limiting how we can work together.
