“Not Just A Label” 

—

Who will you be when a Society “Without” Labels? 

In sociology, the word labeling is used more as a metaphor, than a concrete concept. The general function of labels is widely known and recognized as a method of distinction that helps people recognize one product from another. In social terms, labels represent a way of differentiating and identifying people that are considered by many as a form of prejudice and discrimination.

When the point of view becomes a stereotype. That 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 'labeled' by the larger society, and along with it, the nuances underlying the label, be it positive or negative
But when everything others can see is the negative traits, it can be hard for a person to change. Once they’ve been isolated, might cause them into the dark.
When people start believing a label, they don’t see anything about the person except for whatever the label is. The rest of a person is crossed-out by the label. Everyone is constructed by pieces, Pros and Cons. 

Let’s accept that people are individuals, unique, and too complex to be labeled in general. 
We are living in a time where we quickly put people inboxes. Maybe they are more than what we think?
