Categorization

organize its members that can vary across culture and time (West and Zimmerman). Rather than being a discrete role or variable, West and Zimmerman describe gender as a serious of behaviours and interactions that reinforce or are in opposition to sex categorization, which in western cultures is made up of the “essential” distinctions between male and female (West and Zimmerman). Although gender is an arbitrary social construct, society as a whole function under the assumption “of the fact that…

The Supreme Court has implemented the application of different tests depending on the type of categorization and its effect on an individual’s rights. The court normally finds a state classification constitutional if it has "a rational basis" to a "legitimate state purpose." However, the Supreme Court has applied more stringent analysis in different…

As we discussed earlier on the history of immigration, the ideology of racial categorization began in the 17th century. It was at this time that the Europeans considered themselves as superior than other human races. The concept of Social Arwinism came into being in the 1800s asserting that a specific racial group was more prosperous and therefore, superior compared to other. The rise of this ideology was meant to highlight the race differences and justify the supremacy of certain ethnic groups…

Forceville (2006) points out that even though Lakoff and Johnson’s characterization of metaphor’s essence as “understanding and experiencing one kind of thing in terms of another” emphatically avoids the word “verbal” or “linguistic,” the validity of CMT’s claims about the existence of conceptual metaphors depends almost exclusively on the patterns detectable in verbal metaphors. An early study of metaphors in pictures is Kennedy (1982). Kennedy takes “metaphor” in the all-encompassing sense of…

However, activity in itself is normally viewed as valuable (Kellerman, 2007). This idea brings merit to the categorization of more actively engaged follower being “better”. Kellerman clarifies her point further with the notion that isolates and bystanders will not engage in opposition to poor leadership. This premise means that good followers, such as activists…

tests. In addition the placement of diction also assists the appeal of pathos as the AACT indirectly categorizes both humans and other mammals as “animals” in the text “Stop Animal Testing,” found directly under the woman’s swollen face. This categorization reminds humans that they are animals too, and if humans should not be subjected to unforgiving tests, then neither should…

subject organizes her experiences in terms of rigid categories, she is incapable of dealing with people who do not necessarily fit the mold. The psychologically rigid person either denies that certain phenomena resist or are resistant to rigid categorization or they react hostilely towards whatever exception there is to the general rule: men are not allowed to behave in a way that is "feminine" and minorities cannot drift too far away from their designated social role to the authoritarian…

Through the early stages of development and socialization, children have been taught to understand the concept of gender. A recent study conducted by Barbara A. Kerr and Karen D. Milton examined the environmental influences that affect children and distinguish them from their associates of the opposite sex. This included the concepts of masculinity and femininity, which have been portrayed through the social construction of gender norms. Another critical aspect that was explored involved gifted…
