Preconceived Notions, Part 1
Posted by nathan on 12 Feb 2008 | Tagged as: Communications, my life.
Today while I was brushing my teeth, I noticed a commercial on television. The guy was one of those slimeball lawyers. He was talking about medical mistakes, and he said something like:
Medical mistakes are one of the leading causes of death in America. If you [...] have been a victim of a medical mistake, call [the slimeballs] at 1.800.SLIME-BALL
Did you get that? If you died as a result of something, go ahead and call the slimeballs.
What a slimeball.
Don’t be a slimeball.
But, here is what I want to leave you with today. People have preconceived notions about you, your job and your church. What do you do with those? Unless you’re careful, you play right in to those preconceived notions, and simply reinforce people’s opinions.
Instead of playing in to the slimeball lawyer notion, couldn’t they have gone about this a different way?
