How symbols and brands shape our humanity

Everywhere we go we see brands - the coffee I'm drinking right now is from McDonalds. My phone is an iPhone, an Apple brand. My laptops are Acer Chromebook and Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260, both big brands in the laptop industry. I drive a Toyota Hilux, a well-known car brand. Watch this TED Talk as Debbie Millman talks about the power of symbols to unite people, and how branding reflects the state of humanity.

    Branding is the future of marketing and can be used to attain more than individual benefits for an organization. If a brand tries to wield the power and influence they have to make better changes in the society, they end up achieving a lot more than just their business goals. The tedtalk was great, it gives a very objective and fair insight on the suject.

    brands are something that exist in our community for long time. It is a measure of showing your wealth to others, If you are rich and If you can afford it it is ok to buy branded stuff, If you do not have enough money it is point less to buy expensive stuff. You can buy a phone for 100$ and if you spend your life saving on buying a iPhone worth 1000$ you are an idiots. If you cant afford it just don't buy it. It means you cant hate it.
