t identifies two groups that are similar and comparisons are made- it seeks to discover cause and effect, avoids artificiality, can be used to study past events, no ethical problems . If studying labelling in schools which is a social process of teachers attaching positive or negative labels to students and students also doing this to teachers, this is best understood in the context of social interaction in the classroom. This would eliminate lab experimentation and would be favoured by interactionists using a field experiment approach. Main ideas concepts Some researchers have used laboratory experiments-Harvey and Stains, they looked at whether teachers had preconceived ideas about pupils of different social classes. The study indicated labelling goes on and that the labels are used to pre-judge pupils potential.

This assignment I will outline the concept of an unequal society, in addition I will include prejudice, stereotype, labelling and discrimination. In today’s society a population of individuals are treated unequally or is an individual contributing to unfair treatment, in which they are treating them differently due to their race, gender, social class, sexuality or beliefs. In addition In the UK there is a major gap between the rich and the poor, society is divided and the rich share together and leave the poor with little stash left over. Also social inequality is also identified as when opportunities, different social position or rewards are unequal. Prejudice is when an individual is judged by aspects which do not relate to them at all.
They argued that they stereotyped and expected black students to present behaviour such as threatening and challenging authority, which leaves the student feeling underestimated and picked on. This negative labelling and stereotyping could be the resulting reason as to why black students may be placed in lower sets. In addition to this, Bourne (1994) links stereotyping and
This can cause misunderstandings in a workplace and men may take this up as an invitation. The culture of the army is based on constant physical violence and mental cruelty of their enemies; this is probably where sexism evolved from as women are perceived as the weaker gender. It may be due to this that the environment in the army, women are exposed to discrimination by colleagues who are told to ‘suck it up’ when they are threatened by sexual violence. In conclusion, gender in a society is significant in the construction of it. Gender
Peggy Orenstein proved this in her essay, "Learning Silence: Scenes from the Class Struggle," in which she did field research in junior high schools interviewing and observing the interaction of teachers to their students. I think the reason teachers unknowingly give more attention to a particular gender is because of the way that the teachers were brought up to think. The roles of each gender have already been laid out and embedded in the minds of the teachers from their own teachers and parents while growing up. I think that teachers have many preconceived notions of the gender relations of their students. The teachers unknowing pass the ideas that they learned as a child onto their students, who also do not realize that it is being done to them.

They encounter both sexual and racial harassment in the workplace. Racial harassment involves creation of a hostile work environment on the basis of race, It is a form of discrimination involving verbal harassment through actions such as: name calling, verbal abuse, epithets, threats, slurs, derogatory comments, unwelcome remarks, or innuendoes in attributing an individual's behavior to his or her racial or ethnic affiliation. Studies (Jackson, 1994; Janofsky, 1993) show that African American women encounter both sexual and racial harassment and tend to leave a workplace culture they perceived to be negative and oppressive. An examination of the racial harassment and discrimination claims filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) shows that race-based claims have been on the rise since 1990 (Chideya, 1995). People typically respond to workplace discrimination and racial harassment with anger, rage, hostility, resentment, bitterness and aggression.
Even if after the initial judgment takes place and their base opinion is changed, because this person is ‘different from the norm’ the initial judgment did occur, and that person did assume personality qualities to that person for know reason other than race, and personal beliefs that people have about that specific ‘kind of person.’ I have met people of all different races who judge others by their skin color or by their culture unintentionally. Racism is everywhere and it is a hidden evil that people choose to ignore for the time being. Most people in today’s society are at least slightly racist, probably on accident. Which is awful, because the concept of race is something that the human mind created, and not something that has any truth to it, because there is only one race, the human
Also Newton refers to discrimination as an act of injustice towards the receiver. For example, if a woman is turned down for a job because a male with the same qualifications was also interviewed and received the position due to his gender. Newton doesn’t agree with this injustice but also wonders since more people are realizing that not choosing persons due to their gender or race is discrimination, if they are giving women and or African Americans special treatment so that their company can look diverse and nondiscriminatory. If true, then the rest of workers are now having the bulk of injustice done to them. Newton states, “It is, then, an ironic paradox” (414).
