First proposed by sociologist Howard Becker in the 1960s, labeling theory posits that deviance is that which is so labeled. No status or behavior is inherently deviant until other people have judged it and labeled it deviant.
2. General abnormal behavior, such as drunken gaffes. Hurting people in the street, it's seen as abnormal, and people think it's crazy
3. This magnifying effect is similar to a person's emotional self-knowledge. When the deviant does many things that are not recognized, people usually feel that these have lost their original track and broke people's cognition. These things Considered dangerous too. At the same time, when a person who has deviant behavior and is released from prison, people will maintain suspicion of this person and amplify the negative impact of this person, which also makes it difficult for criminals to re-establish their own image, thus under social pressure. lead to the next crime
4.I think to a large extent yes, there are 2 reasons, one is the government: even though the government pays a lot to help people with criminal records, it is difficult for society to tolerate them, and the second reason is that people : Most people find it difficult to offer a job or goodwill to a person who has the opportunity to commit a crime. These two reasons lead to people with a criminal record continuing to commit crimes. At the same time, according to the survey, the prison system in the United States and the United Kingdom is very good. Some deviants believe that prison makes them comfortable and prefer to stay in prison rather than integrate into society
5. It is very possible that when a person is identified as a dangerous existence, they will be selectively disbelieved or abandoned by people, but people need to look at this matter with a friendly eye, to encourage and help anyone

Labeling theory suggests that people get labels from how others tend to perceive or act toward them. Each person knows how others judge them because he or she tries out many different roles and functions in social interactions and is able to gauge the reactions of those present

2. Examples of what are generally considered deviant are drug addiction, alcoholism, illegal hunting

3, Labeling theory is an approach in the sociology of deviance that focuses on the ways in which the agents of social control attach stigmatizing stereotypes to particular groups, and the ways in which the stigmatized change their behavior once labeled.
The central feature of labeling theory is the self-fulfilling prophecy, in which the labeled correspond to the label in terms of delinquent behavior.
It has been criticized for ignoring the capacity of the individual to resist the labeling and assuming that it is an automatic process.

4.I think the deviant labeling of the law only allows people who do not have this type of behavior to more clearly distinguish between deviants. Unmoral deviants don't deliberately do anything because of labels, just as we can often see people smoking in non-smoking places.

5. I think it varies from person to person. Individuals who are labeled criminals by society may be more likely to engage in criminal activity simply because of that social label. By the same logic, positive social labels can influence individuals to exhibit positive behavior. Labeling can lead to the persistence of negative stereotypes, so rejecting labels and stopping deviant behavior requires a concerted effort from both society and the individual

Label theory holds that self-identification and individuals' behavior may be determined or influenced by the terms used to describe or classify them. It has to do with self-fulfilling prophecies and the notion of stereotypes.                                                                 
2. For example, violent behavior and drug use are behaviors are abnormal. 

3. Yes, people may have a "self-abandonment" mentality because they are labeled, which is the increase in this deviance behavior. 

4. I think the criminals living environment is more influenced by deviant behavior; their consciousness of crimes basic comes from the social background, their criminal behavior is generally by the social climate of contradictions and conflicts, stimulation, caused the loopholes in management and convenient conditions, once the label will cause people to them, resulting in a stereotype. 

5. I think being labeled a pervert gets worse. Stereotype is a typical dilemma in life. It originates from the ability of human beings to interact with each other. Simply put, it is a general fixed, subjective stereotype that we form about something or object. This stereotype will influence our life all the time and determine our life to some extent. Once we fall into the stereotype, it will affect our development and play from the subconscious level. ]]> 2022-03-10 13:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/j9yiwzizp9memw2v/wish/2088281281 Group 1-A2 jwang347 https://padlet.com/usictech/j9yiwzizp9memw2v/wish/2088370498 7.pros of Functionalism:The advantages of functionalism is the easily identified measurable means to problem area of an elements. The easily measurement of means gives society the ability to change and adapt to remain competitive such as abuse.
  cons of Functionalism:the disadvantage of functionalism is that each element must work correctly for a healthy system to be present otherwise corruption to a ill system is developed from another element becoming dysfunctional.
  pros of Interactionist:Interactionist theory has the advantage of focusing on individuals rather than categorizing us as social groups. And allows us to compare the way we behave with different people. It can also help us understand the social structure of the world.
  cons of Interactionist:interactionist theory tends to be so focused on the individual, it misses out on larger structural questions, on power dynamics and on social inequalities.

Interactivitists believe that people's behavior is determined based on their understanding and meaning of the world around them. This is true from most cases. And in the theory of interactionism, the label view is the most important theory. The key concept of label theory, namely primary and secondary anomalies, can explain most crimes. For example, smoking and drinking is legal, but drug use is illegal. This is because smoking and drinking does not greatly affect a person's social status and relationship, which is the main abnormality, while drug use will have a great impact, which is a secondary anomaly.]]> 2022-03-10 14:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/j9yiwzizp9memw2v/wish/2088396186 Group3 ——A2 https://padlet.com/usictech/j9yiwzizp9memw2v/wish/2088409902 Functionalism: Focus on how various elements in a society come together and interact to form a whole
Interactionism: Both verbal and non-verbal responses subsequently delivered by the listener are constructed in a similar way in anticipation of the way the original speaker responded. The ongoing process is like an entertainment game, just a mature conversation
I personally think that interactionism may be able to better help me look at social crime and deviant behavior, because in society, the most accessible behavior for people is communication. Through communication and dialogue, we can give a new definition to a thing and help people understand.
