what are you who are you there are many ways to answer this question people may answer with their name or their occupation other people may choose to answer I'm a boy or I'm a white person or I'm a Muslim how does your answer to these questions affect the way that you see yourself and the way you believe the world sees you in this video we're gonna be talking a little bit about how labels affect your life and how changing your beliefs can open new doors and transcend your limiting beliefs so first of all when do
you get your first label most likely it's before you're even a fully formed human our parents may label us with a name they pass down their genes which give them an idea of what labels you will get later on in your life it may also label you with the color promise skin color a color that is either pink or blue and if you want to watch people applying labels look no further than baby showers or gender-reveal parties gender-reveal parties are a trend that have been taking the internet by storm at these parties expecting couples find
creative ways to tell their family or friends whether or not they're having a boy or a girl while these parties are creative and have the potential to go viral online they have been criticized for their place in putting labels and expectations on children based on their biological sex party decorations put the two sexes against each other guns or glitter touchdowns or tiaras once the sex of the baby is revealed we unconsciously put them in the guns glitter touchdowns or tiaras category as parents families and friends start to shop for the baby they buy toys and
clothes in the boys or the girls aisle the label of biological sex are put on the child before they're even born and it will follow them for the rest of their life does this label have an effect on how the child sees themselves and their future well absolutely a recent study reveals how early these effects of these labels start to kick in six-year-old girls were less likely than boys to believe that the girls their age were really really smart the girls had already started to avoid activities they were presumably reserved for people that were really
really smart let's say one of these activities is computer programming think about how these beliefs will affect the rest of the children's lives children are encouraged to try different activities to find out which one of them is best for them a child who tries out computer programming may realize they have an interest in the activity and they actually decide to pursue it they have years to develop skills in computer programming through summer camps classes and teaching themselves how to code by the time they're ready to go to college they may have years of computer programming
knowledge to help them get into school of their dreams but if a little girl avoids computer programming because she believes that the activity is reserved for people who are really really smart she will never get the chance to develop those skills we all know that the belief that women are not really really smart is based in stereotypes and false beliefs studies have shown that there are no differences in how children or different sexes perform in math there are just as many really really smart girls as there are really really smart boys but with the label
of girl comes certain beliefs rather than focus on math they should focus on beauty Society says rather than focus on sports they should focus on playing house clearly labels and beliefs have a strong effect on the activities that children choose and what they are comfortable trying they also have a strong effect on the direction of the child's life and where they will find success so you should know that labels are all around us the world is becoming a more equal place and we're seeing women breaking past restrictive labels every day in all entirely new fields
unfortunately we still have a long way to go and the label of male or female is not the only one that potentially restricts our beliefs and the course of our life black brown young old Muslim Jewish disabled deaf labels are all around us if the label of male and female can have such a large impact on someone's life how can multiple labels affect a person labels may also take on different meanings depending on where you live they are not always a result of biological differences or even facts beliefs about labels come from an idea within
a specific culture when you're raised in a particular culture labels may have more or less of an impact on your life so it's really important to take a moment step back and observe how your culture treats people based on certain labels this type of observation and reflection is the first step into controlling these labels in order to find more success in your life you might have to try and send these labels or use them to an advantage are you ready to do that think back to the labels you gave yourself at the beginning of this

we are born may cling onto those beliefs very tightly and may not be able to see past them but believe me there are ways to break through these labels and create beliefs about yourself that are helpful not restrictive there are many ways to create beliefs that will bring you everything that you want in life whether that be success knowledge money love you name it but you cannot create these beliefs until you acknowledge the labels that you give yourself and the labels that you give others if you want help in doing this the psychology of beliefs
