Labels

Alex George-Hampton Hour 3 Labels Some argue that labels are faultfinding to language and communication. Labeling is describing someone or something in a short vocalize or word. Labels can be used to represent good things, and inspection and repair characterize people and things. All languages use labels, because without them it would be very strong to describe certain people or things. When explaining what someone looks like its about impossible to non use labels. Short, tall, skinny, fat, longhaired, pretty, etc. are all labels. Without these types of labels we would fuddle to use exact in mannikination to describe what a person looks like, kinda of using a word or short phrase. Labels help modify our social world, by reducing the amount of processing we do when contact a new person The problem with labels is that they are based on assumptions. Labels are judgmental, and are created by opinions and beliefs. We willingly accept these labels as statements without tell of them being true.These assumptions become stereotypes, which can become put-downs. Everyone is exposed to some form of labeling and stereotypes throughout his or her life. Labels quickly lead to name-calling and verbal abuse. Stereotypes are often based on race but can also call down to intelligence, religion, age, sexual orientation, etc. Most stereotypes are intended to give glum a negative impression. Social categorization is developed from labels and stereotypes, which is a lifesize reason for prejudice attitudes.Stereotypes are so common that it is likely to not even recognize them when they occur in everyday life. There are positive stereotypes, but negative stereotypes seem far more common. . A disadvantage to labels is that they make us ignore the difference amongst individuals, causing us to believe what isnt necessarily true.
