This is the second in the fundamentals series of articles I'm writing.
In this one, I'm going to look at something that people have a very hard time with. It is something that everyone has to at least some degree in the United States (and it can be argued that outside of the US the same holds true, but I'm going to stay with the US culture). Everyone.
It is related to stigma in that like it, it is something that one needs to understand fundamentally -- it lies at the base of the challenges and the fights we have with society at large.
