The walls of our minds, simple messaging and social conditioning - a reflection. Two and a Mic - The Social Podcast
-
- History
When we use words we learned as children, we feel safe in their usage, because they were taught by trusted teachers in a trusted institution. We don’t always reflect on where they come from, what they signify, or how they may be interpreted by others. For some it doesn’t even matter. For many it matters more than they know.
Breaking down biases that have built up walls in our minds can be an arduous and painstaking task. Yet in a society becoming constantly more diverse, do we not see the need to reanalyse how we communicate and the words we use to communicate with? Or do we try to deny diversification, even when it is there, staring at us, waiting to be understood?
In this episode I refer to the boxes we start to build from our childhood and just a single phrase. How many more simple phrases have etched unconscious biases into the fabric of our thoughts? At what stage do we go back and try to identify what effect those biases have?
It’s likely time already.
Enjoy!
