Labeling 

Introduction:
In sociology, the word labeling  is used more as a metaphor, than a concrete concept. The general function of labels are widely known and recognized as a method of distinction that helps people that is considered by many as a form of prejudice and discrimination.

The most common method of 'labeling 'people derives from a general way of perceiving members of a certain nationality, religion,ethnicity, gender, or some other group. When a majority of people hold a certain point of view towards a certain group, that point of view becomes a stereotype. The stereotype affects the way other people perceive the groups in question and the result is a 'label ' that is metaphorically imposed on the members of the group in question. A member of a targeted group is thus ' labelled' by the larger society, and along with it, the nuances underlying the label, be it positive or negative, that aids in the formation of social stereotypes .
