A Sense of Identity: Steven Sasseville at TEDxRheinMain

In "A Sense of Identity" Steven Sasseville examines why being a "Citizen" is more meaningful than being a "Consumer". Why it´s a good idea to have an opinion, and accept the consequences of that opinion. Furthermore he explores why we all need to create "Things" worth caring about.
Steven seeks a "Long-Term Identity" that synthesizes interests, ethnicity, beliefs, family & friends, work and values. Will Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, Blogger, Vimeo, Skype, and YouTube help in this quest? Will my identity be the "Next Big Thing"?

Steven Sasseville (born 1969) is managing creative director and co-founder of the innovation and design firm COSALUX, taking a more "daring to de different" approach to the design challenges out there. He's known for his straightforward, honest and reimagining approach to the design business. Rethinking the ordinary, trusting our instincts and educating clients into trusting creative partnerships is part of the strategy embedded into the core DNA of Steven and his team at COSALUX.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
