Organisations tend to go through a process called rebranding for various reasons. The decision is often based on changing the perception of their customers, especially where their products or services have been the subject of negative publicity. Some rebrand because they have been bought over by other organisations and the new owners have decided to change the branding in line with their own brand.Recently, the popular social media company, Facebook, announced that it had changed it’s company name to Meta. Although they gave reasons for this name change as a reflection of the company’s growing ambitions beyond social media, the fact that this decision was made following a series of negative stories based on documents leaked by an ex-employee has raised eyebrows.

Life can be very tough. People everywhere face different degree of life’s difficult situations. Ask the young man who has a job but who is not well paid, how life is. He will tell you it has been very tough.
Another person close by would probably wonder why the young man is saying life is tough when he, a married man with a family, earn less.

There are people who cannot remember when last they lived a pain free life. There are others who find themselves in negative circumstances created by others. Take the example of civil wars in countries like Sudan , Ethiopia and Syria . ...
