Welcome to the eighth short publication of the Kikulacho Cultures Series™ that discusses popular cultures that may be having a negative impact on your financial and personal well-being. The word “Kikulacho” comes from the Kiswahili (Swahili) language, and literally translated into English means “what is eating you”. However, in practice it is used in the Kiswahili language to mean “what is ailing you”. A popular Kiswahili saying “Kikulacho Ki nguoni mwako” is the inspiration behind the name of this short publications series. The practical English translation of this saying is “what ails you is within you”!
In this series I discuss the popular culture of “packaged thinking”. Today we live in a world where many people readily absorb packaged thoughts, designed and distributed by institutions These packaged thoughts determine their opinions on specific issues. People self identify with packaged thoughts such as, liberalism, conservatism, socialism, capitalism, feminism etc, which tell them what their opinions should be on various specific issues, without them researching and analyzing the specific issues separately.
