Branded Streetwalker

Branding is often associated with cattle ranch brands and worldwide product or service brands. Before the open range times the Native Americans used various methods to 'mark' tainted squaws or warriors who became traitors. In the biblical times diseased people were often outcast outside of the city gates branding them as outcasts.

Cultures throughout the world have used forms of branding throughout history marking people for one reason or another. Today's world gang members are branded by using a signature tattoo. Pimps may mark their streetwalkers for not collecting enough money from johns or for working another pimp corner. Society brands people by culture, education, religion, economic levels, way of dressing, talking and association with other people.

The entire world is made of branded streetwalkers. You are a branded streetwalker. The question is which branded streetwalker are you?

In the everyday life, some are fortunate to be branded well liked by all in the community or neighborhood. It is because they are good at meeting people, making everyone feel welcome, taking pride by taking care of their property by keeping the junk hauled to the recycle center instead of the alleyway or inside of their privacy fence. When the entire neighborhood takes care of property it helps eliminates rodents which destroy property and carry disease. These people are also branded as financially well off even though they hire no one to keep up the property. The neighborhood gets along well because they have common courtesy towards one another.

Families are often branded by the family black sheep.  This type of branding can be challenging for siblings, offspring, even distant relations.

Young adults are often branded by interests, appearance, and activities and association with others.

Employees are branded by where they work. Businesses are branded by how well established it is, how it helps others and the community along with treating employees well. Likewise, shady business practices can also brand employees.

Religion, faith or non religion can also brand people whether it is by denomination or through the non-traditional practices.

Branding is permanent. Or is it?
