It is commonplace in today's consumer market for companies to repackage products and sell them to the public with claims of new capabilities or have-to-have characteristics, but what about people? In society, people repackage themselves whether is from year to year or from friend group to friend group to friend group. We label ourselves with a new demeanor or appearance while on the inside our content and personality are still the same. Where is the fine line, however, between people who just slightly present themselves differently to each person and those who try to sell their “new” identity as a means of deceit? How is one to tell that the context of their conversation are genuine and just another aspect to a person's original character rather than a mask to hide a calculated approach? Just like in the market of consumer products, the market of people has positive repackaging and negative repackaging where one could be harmless or enhancing and the other could be like false advertisements. I, personally, still have a hard time distinguishing the two but if you have any tips and ideas of your own, share them in the comments below!
This was such an amazing post Emily! You really connected the packaging of people to the packaging of commercial products. I liked how you really described how people act towards each other. I personally think that it's hard to be just one persona of yourself because society forces you to act differently in different contexts. It's really messed up, but you really expose the issue!
