    Our society today have become masters at labeling a person, whether or not it is respectable or ruthless. The labeling theory is a concept used to help explain why someone’s behavior is acceptable in one group but termed deviant in other groups. In theory, criminal behavior is deemed as such only if the perception of the person is recognized to be so.

    Mariam Abdo Professor Williams English 2 24 October 2016 Critical Rhetorical Analysis Essay Vampires are intriguing mythological figures that have evolved to suit societal trends, they were transformed from being bloodthirsty monsters to complex creature of modern times.

    Fitchen talks about malnutrition in the United States, a country, which most people expect that it feeds its citizens well. She elaborates the cultural values and meanings that are attached to the opposition rich-poor on the image of a poor person buying a steak with a food stamp. She shows that domestic hunger often goes unnoticed, because those people who are poor enough to qualify for government food stamps, may be seen in grocery stores, purchasing not only basic food stuffs, but also popular items, such as potato chips, desserts, and beef steaks. With such purchases, low-income people may seek to affirm that they can live like other Americans, and thus attempt to hide their hunger from the public. At the same time, these foods contribute to their malnutrition, and the public concludes that if poor people can eat steak, they must be neither poor nor very hungry.…
