How To Build A #Flawsome Brand
Nobody is perfect. Neither is any brand. In fact, brands who embrace their “flawsomeness” in this day and age tend to be ahead of the game. The truth is that many consumers don’t really expect their brands to be #flawless and perfect in every possible way. Instead, consumers embrace brands that are #flawsome, that are brilliant despite their flaws.
Flawsome brands are open and honest about their mistakes. They show empathy, generosity, humility, flexibility, maturity and humor. They have character and a sense of humanity. Flawsome brands are human brands. Bland, boring brands are the way of the past. Today’s consumers favor brands that have a personality. They have an opinion and are not afraid to share it with the world.

What Can Social Science Students Expect From East Asia?
East Asian universities may seem to be a Wonderland when it comes to natural sciences, engineering, and high-tech in general. What most student populations usually do not consider are the high quality, successful departments of social sciences and humanities that the Asian sub-region offers. If we make a comparison with most of the European top Universities (for example Heidelberg in Germany and Krakow in Poland), we will notice significant differences in the approach towards fields of study like Sociology, Political Science, Law, etc. This certainly doesn’t diminish the significance of the East Asian University environment, it actually makes it more exotic than is commonly understood.
Social Activism, Millennials Edition
The history of the 20th century has been marked with movements and revolutionary ideas that have changed the world forever. Most of our grandparents participated in some of the social movements that gave birth to the society that we know today. The product of their work is modern society. All of their ideas were seen as radical when they were first articulated, but today the same principles and ideas are seen as common sense. The older generation has made its contribution to the development of society, now what about the Millennials? What will be their legacy for the generations to come, and how do today’s young people feel about social activism?
Why Are Millennials Never Happy?
Being described and depicted as the Me, me, me generation, the most narcissistic generation ever or the generation that is the most addicted to social media, one would assume that Generation Millennials are experiencing a strong measure of happiness and personal satisfaction.

New Generation, New Health Priorities
They say every time has its illness. And if we scan through the history books we can truly see that.

The New And Improved Version Of Adulthood, Powered By Millennials
If you type the term “Millennials” into any search engine you will be stunned by the number of articles and studies published on this topic. The variety of topics related to this generation is truly amazing, but among those one is particularly interesting – Millennials as adults. We have to face the fact that this generation (usually taken as those born between 1980 and 1995) is now slowly reaching the point of entering adulthood. However, not a lot of Millennials are following in the footsteps of their parents – most Millennials are not homeowners, are not married, and find that saving money for retirement is only a daydream. Does this mean that Millennials are refusing to grow up, or are we going to be introduced to a new and improved version of adulthood, powered by Millennials?
