Labelling

The labelling theory in relation to health and social care is very significant. Labels are used consistently within health and social care settings, whether this is through diagnosis, or a service user/providers background. If a service user was diagnosed with a mental health condition like schizophrenia, then this will provide them with a ‘label’. In some cases, labels can be an advantage as it helps aid recovery and treatment, even though it is stigmatising. Labels help service providers provide

Hargreaves also linked labelling to subcultures, a group who share the same values and norms which are different from the mainstream culture, being created. He claimed the way you were labelled by teachers determined how they treated you, for example, if you were labelled as a troublemaker you were put into low streams (students are sorted into classes according to ability but stay at the same level for most of their classes). Those the teachers favoured as acceptable and were seen to have a halo

criminal. He believed that criminals had certain innate characteristics about them that could be identified by the police, creating a bias about who is a criminal based on what they look like (Historical Perspectives, 2018). This gradually led us to labelling theory, which explains why some people are labelled as criminal and some are not (Historical Perspectives, 2018). Once someone commits a deviant act, they start to be seen as an outsider to the

Due to the rising levels of obesity and poor nutrition, nutritional labelling was implemented to help consumers make healthier choices when purchasing food. The term ‘policy’ is used when a government or organisation implement a plan of action or decision that accomplishes a certain goal (Richards and Smith, 2002). Policy enables the government and particular organisations to agree that something should be carried out in a certain way. Policies are formulated to raise awareness and in this case food

Canada’s food labelling practices are very much a work-in-progress. Labelling itself is a very important issue as it affects both product sales for companies and personal health for consumers, especially since most Canadian consumers learn about nutrition from food labels themselves (Nguyen) and are especially inclined to trust labels (Gruère, Carter and Farzin). Through labelling law, government is also able to impose food standards on products. An extensive set of rules to govern every possible

happens when we expand this form of “labelling” to split up types of people? When we assume character traits about those who belong to a certain group, this can intensely affect the way many react in life. Those who are judged for their sexual orientation, gender, income, mental problems etc., may eventually begin to conform to a stereotype that they belong to. In turn, this stereotyping may be the reason for certain people to partake in deviance acts. Labelling theory takes a micro and consensualist

theoretical lens of the labelling theory on marijuana is that the labelling effect leaves a stigma on the individual, which may not be necessary. This labelling, which results in a stigma being left on the individual is often not necessary and the individual is led to committing more crimes in response to their label. Many individuals argue by against the recreational use of marijuana that it is a gateway drug. However, in many cases this is not true. Critiques of the labelling theory will often argue

Nevertheless, labelling theory cannot demonstrate why youth in neighborhoods with a high gang presence are more likely to interact with gang related activity. Labelling theory expresses the notions of public perceptions, labelling and shaping individual’s actions (Super 2017; Tutorial 2017). Labelling theory does not address youth in crime-ridden neighbourhoods leading them to a life of crime if society is not shaping individual’s perceptions through the labelling process (Tutorial 2017). Labelling theory

were superior or inferior to other races and ethnicities? This essay will be delving into the roots of race and ethnicity and will be discussing the advantages and disadvantages of racial and ethnic labelling and ways to overcome the negative things that are associated with racial and ethnic labelling and categorization. Race and ethnicity are two different things but yet have striking similarities. One focuses on the biological characteristics of a person the other focuses on the cultural practices
