Question

Based on the symbolic interaction theory of sociologists charles h. cooley and george h. mead, the __________ theory states that deviance is a socially constructed process in which social control agencies designate certain people as deviants, and they, in turn, come to accept the marker placed upon them and begin to act accordingly.

Answer 1

Answer:

Labeling

Explanation:

According to this theory, the way people perceive themselves is often influenced by the way society characterized them based on their identity , gender, age or ethnicity.

For example, let's say that you grow up in a society which view women as secondary citizens that need to obey the husbands at all cost. This will create overwhelming expectation for girls during their childhood to grow up to be that type of women. Along with additional pressures and enforcement from other adults. In such situation, it is most likely that the girls will grow up and view themselves as subservient and secondary citizens due to the years of conditioning.
