In the article, “What's in a (Muslim) Name?” written by Dilaria Hafiz, it says, “ granted, someone named "Mohammed” is probably a Muslim, just as "Mary” is probably a Catholic and "Dev" is likely a Hindu.” He also says that labeling people is nonsense because we can know people with a name that is different from the traditional name of that person's religion. Indians are the ones that mostly get labeled because of their last name. If someone has that last name “Singh” they are…

There is always one theory or more that will not fit her situation. One theory that will not do her justice will be the Social Reaction Theory or it is also known as labeling theory. Labeling theory explains that when people are labeled in a negative way. They start believing that is how they should act and that is what is expected of them. Because it is based on the standers of society on how a person should behave and it is…

Labeling in society Public shaming is becoming popular in today’s society. Parents are using the social network to diminish and embarrass their children while others decide to just do it publicly but, it ends up getting the media attention which eventually ends up on YouTube or the news. This process creates a label for the children as well as parents when they partake in these kind of acts. Sometimes public shaming is a way to get their children to understand that they would rather be…

Our assigned reading this week explains, labeling theory is “an interactionist perspective that sees continued crime as a consequence of limited opportunities for acceptable behavior that follow from the negative responses of society to those defined as offenders; also called social reaction theory (Schmalleger, 2012).” What I comprehend from this is when someone commits a crime they become labeled as a criminal.

1. The first theory that truly caught my eye and that I had questions about was the “Labeling/shaming” theory. This one stood out due to two main reasons, the first is because everything that is happening within our society and has happened over the past year or so and how that has to played into this theory. The second is how Americans label people when yes, they have committed a crime, but even if it wasn’t a significant crime, they are still considered a “criminal” within our society. The…

As discussed in “Teacher Disapproval, Delinquent Peers, and Self-Reported Delinquency: A Longitudinal Test of Labeling Theory” by Mike S. Adams and T.

The concept of stereotypes has in some way or another influenced our lives at some point in time. Stereotypes are judgmental assumptions made based on qualities or characteristics a person carries. It is also important to clearly understand that stereotypes have become more and more present as time passes. Negative stereotypes also spread common misconceptions that are for the most part never proven to be true. Spreading these stereotypes only causes more tension, uncomfortable situations, and…

Label Us Angry by Jeremiah Torres shows how difficult it is for oppressed people to breakout of the path or stereotype that society has created for them. Carlos and Jeremiah have very different triggers and coping mechanisms; any one decision can affect a person’s whole life. When we are taken in by a label, we are taken in by opinions and others’ beliefs. Labels categorize, are designed to make you feel like an outsider, become verbal abuse, narrow our perception of someone. Using any word as a…

It may come as a surprise to you, but I love school. I love anything to do with school. I love homework and yes, I love tests. I also work really hard to make sure I get straight A’s. I push myself, as I should. In my free time, it’s great to just relax and watch videos on my phone. I started to watch a lot of those back to school videos. There was one about the people you will meet at school. And there was one person who was wearing glasses, braces, overalls, miss-matched clothes, and clown…

Making a video for marketing project can be difficult: getting students to participate, having a crystal clear concept to make an effective ad etc. Last year, I took a marketing management course where our teacher assigned the students a class project; the class project was about making a presentation and ad, coming up with our own brand name and packaging. Since it was a mega project for the whole class, it was difficult for everyone to even where to start from. Our teacher did give some hints…
