Question

Which of the following is true concerning labeling?

A. Labeling a life experience as a disorder can change the way we see that experience.
B. The power to label and the power to oppress sometimes go hand in hand.
C. A label, such as "HIV positive," can overshadow all other aspects of a person's life.
D. All of the answers are correct.

Answer 1

D) All of the answers are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Two people can label the same situation differently which leads to different perceptions. A bad experience could be labelled as a trauma and can lead to several psychiatric disorders like PTSD or depression. Often when we label something we also generalize a situation or a person. Labeling someone in this way can lead other people to oppress that person or take their advantage. For example a label like HIV positive is generally taken in a negative sense by people and it overshadows all other aspects of a person's life.
