Today I have a very serious thing to talk about. Sadly, no it is not about the latest red pumps i found at Williams or the gorgeous new Guess bag at David Jones (although there new range is quite impressive). I am going to talk about knowledge, generalisations and familarisations.
I have had so many people make comments about fashionable people and their knowledge of the real world to me. These comment include, "Oh shes so materialistic, no wonder shes dumb." and "Celebrities have no brain." Oh but my favourite is, "Does she even know the dictionary meaning of GUESS." Oh my, some people are so blind as to think that the only thing fashionable people know about is clothes.
Here's a few questions for those who have these generalisations in your head...
Did you know that some fashionistas have written books or films? Are business owners or managers? Have very High Ops?"
Oh sure, there are some. The obvious few, who, frankly are plain stupid when it comes to everything else. But the majority, have other things going on and you should not judge a book by its cover. A computer scientist could love fashion or could hate it, but that wont change them being a computer scientist.
Just have a think about it, and would those who familarise themselves with such generalisations just think for a second before you make another smart comment.
Thankyou, Clairzy
