physiological effects on child’s brain and also how marketing restriction should be made for energy drinks (Harris and Munsell,2007). Even due to such high level of caffeine content and complex ingredients energy drinks companies are not labelling them appropriately as per the US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic…

Social problems define to be what “persons are currently concerned about, what they claim something should be done about, what people find undesirable and in need of eradication”. (Hester and Eglin 1992, p.2) However, sociological problems are those which encourage sociological inquisition. Sociological problems offer a base for sociological thinking and questioning. Therefore, this interest in crime is sociological as it is not prioritised to try and solve it. (Hester and Eglin 1992)…

person’s determining contexts. However, the majority of people have minor experiences of serious criminal victimization. Meaning that our fears of crime are higher than the reality of crime; due to misconceptions, manipulated headlines and statistics, labelling and the smokescreen effect. This can affect people’s lives in different ways; making the fear of ‘crime’ become a greater ‘crime’ itself. Being fearful of crime is influenced by various, “social and demographic variables- perceptions…

social deviance perspectives can explain these acts of deviance. Additionally, the impact of labelling in these cases of social deviance and how the label assigned directs societies view of the said deviance. A norm is a guide of how to act and not act depending on the situations and environment (Opp and Hechter, 2001). Values are less black and white, they are a standard of behaviour expected in each…

Throughout my working career I plan to utilize the critical model of disability, with a strong emphasis on both the social and cultural model of disability. I hope to encourage the young people I work with to view their disability outside the medical box it was put into. The critical model of disability views “disability [as] a social construct, not the inevitable consequence of impairment” (Hosking, p.7) and that people who are disabled are at a social disadvantage because their environment…

Would it really benefit healing to be diagnosed by a medical professional with RSS? Labelling survivors with RSS could be damaging in terms of the stigma often attached to mental health conditions. For example, veterans with PTSD are sometimes seen as being violent towards others. However, they are more likely to be violent towards themselves…

It is important that social workers consider their own beliefs about dyslexia as they work with so-called “dyslexic” clients, and it would behoove researchers to do so as well. We make commitments to our clients, and we need to honor those commitments with respect for their individuality. Interventions can only be effective if we have a sound basis of knowledge on which to formulate our intervention strategies for those unique clients. In this way, we can assist them in finding learning…

Furthermore, this essay will elaborate on the issue of diagnosing and labelling incapacitated people and the effects this has on the general public as well as policies, explicitly within the educational sector.

misrepresentations and the ongoing concern between immigration and crime which began over two hundred years ago.
