Deviant Behavior & The Power of Labeling
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that examines the use of labeling and how it relates to what is considered to be deviant behavior. For instance, the writer points out that if a woman grows herbs, blends them into creams and potions, and sells them on the open market today, she is considered an astute businesswoman in the booming business of natural homeopathic remedies. If a woman did exactly the same thing three hundred years ago, she'd have been burned or hung as a witch. The writer demonstrates how the same concept can be applied to conceptions of mental illness, drugs, and sexual deviance. Bibliography lists 1 source.
