The next point of interest I found in the book was part of Monteiro's Designer Manifesto, which he offers as a morality guide that designers should follow. The first part of the manifesto highlights that designers are the first humans. I feel there can be a separation we can feel as designers towards other non-designers, we can feel a superiority, as we create the things they use to have easier lives. However, this mentality that we are above the general population is something we have to lose, as thinking in this way stops us from considering how our work actually affects society. Sometimes we think we are above behavioural tendencies that design can manipulate, however, this leads to a detachment between the work we do and how we affect society. As humans first and designers second, we need to treat our work from the perspective of how it affects society and the broader world first, as thinking from the user perspective causes us to treat them as products, rather than contributors to the world. Our first duty as humans should be to leave the planet in a better shape than we found it, which is why we have to consider how our work affects the world before we consider how it affects the user.
