Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Labels are words or phrases that are used to describe individuals or groups. When these labels are repeated and reinforced, they can create self-fulfilling stereotypes, meaning that people start to believe and act in ways that align with the stereotype. For example, if someone is constantly labeled as "lazy," they may start to believe that they are lazy and behave accordingly. This can be damaging to people's self-esteem and can lead to perpetuation of negative stereotypes.
