After reading the chapter the ideas that are mentioned do link to some things I have experienced already. For instance the chapter talks about the word "brands". I work for the cell phone company T-Mobile, and ever since I have worked there I was always told to make the name of the company become apart of your life. When I first began working there T-Mobile was gradually becoming a better company and was slowly making a name for themselves, and after over a year of working for them the company has made a huge jump in advertising and making the service ten times better than what it use to be. No other company has better brand then we do. We promote our products and services better than anyone else out there. Its efficient to make sure that the "brand" is recognized by everyone.
Another topic from the chapter is stereotypes. I work at the Westfield mall and the one thing that has been a huge topic for months that still occurs in the mall is stereotyping. Ever since the big fights and riots that broke out back in February the news and even local people made strong comments about people and made many comments and stereotyped as well. Saying that kids were the reason for starting everything, younger than 15. I was there when it happened and it was people of all ages that were involved. Its just wrong for those who made those comments to stereotype people which they weren't even at the scene and just assumed who was to blame for everything.
