Labels And A Person’s Self Of Sense
What are the influences on identity? Who is to say what descirbes you and who you really are. Everyone can say what they think of you, but what makes it true? Everyone has a different perspective on what someone is like and even the things you call them. Someone who thinks I am funny could have a different description of funny compared to someone who doesn’t even know me. Are my jokes funny, or is it the way I say them. People have different perceptions on what the meaning of a certain trait is.
Hearing what people think of me can mean different things depending on who says them. A friend may call me weird and it will not affect me, but hearing it from just anyone could hurt. A label that I am called may even shape how I see my self, making my self consious or confident. Some things that people say do not affect me, but other people may care about what every single person, stranger or not, thinks about them and that shapes who they are.

Is this video funny, well to some it may be, perception plays a huge role on labels and this video can show how I could be found funny by by jokes to one person or talk funny to another.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elton_john I chose this link to show how people such as Elton John are judged by there personal life and become labelled. Many people think differently of John because of his sexuality, but if we did not know this more people would focus on things such as his music.
