Labeling Perspective Research Paper

Improved Essays
The labeling perspective is apart of my everyday life. The definition of Labeling Perspective is “Human behavior at the micro level based on attaching labels to people's identities”. As a student of FHS you see the Labeling perspective used on a day to day basis.

For instance someone who is known as a delinquent because of their actions could be someone you may not want to hang around because then they could drag you into whatever it

    Edwin Lemert also contributed a great deal to the labeling theory by incorporating the relationships between primary and secondary deviance. He theorized that primary deviance is the first deviant act that a person initiates that lands them in the situation of being labeled. To some, the act that they commit may not even seem deviant and they could be unaware of the legal and social consequences that come along with it. The secondary deviance is when the person ends up conforming to this deviant identity and committing more deviant acts instead of attempting to regain their own identity (Gove, 2002). Because people already view them as “deviant” they do not see a reason to change or to better themselves because they do not think other peoples’…

    When I was in high school, I had a friend who was nice, caring, thoughtful, and social. After starting university, we didn’t talk as much as before and what I know from his “new life” was only from what I saw on social media. The things that I saw gave me a negative impression of who he became. As stated in the reading, “we label people according to our first impressions in order to make some interpretations about them” (page 43). This personally affected me, as when he wanted to meet and catch up, I was reluctant because I didn’t want to interact with who I thought he became.…
