Why do people label other people?

some ppl label others coz they are more judgmental than others....and their lives are ruined and most of the time suck ....

Its man 's nature to categorise you so tat a behavoiur can be identified..

I think as humans we are in a constant need to define things. we can not remain in uncertainity, we have to be precise and clear. Uncertainity makes us insecure so we label things and people and stuff and everything. Naming them makes our ego sore high and makes us feel all knowing. so we keep labeling. Come to think of it, this labeling is the reason that has helped us to develop our language too. lol

maybe it is the way our society works. And everyone has his own position in the society depending on their interst and ability. some are bosses,and some are employees. if you don't wanna be labeled by anyone,then be a free man, I mean SOHO. Just as what you are doing here, earn money by shareing your opinion with others or some other business online. I like this kind of life style,but the money here is not enough for me to make a living. So I must get a job,then be labeled by others because I have no enough capital to be a boss. Good luck to you!

yes you are very right... one should care and praise one for what he is not for what he have...

dear friend its all in the mind of every one.

I like a person for their kindness, helpfulness, friendliness, for not being judgemental towards someone who is older, not physically pretty, living in another country, for being of another race, the list can go, my friend.Hugs. Like you, I do not understand why some people put labels on others and proceed to mistreat/boycott the person.

beacuse everyone isnt the same some are more judge mental than others and most of the time their lives sucks.

u never know what do people think in their minds.................so it is always better to keep our eyes open

ecause that is how the world has turned and it will get worse not better Most People that have money think they are better and look down on the People that do not have has much

I dont like it either.But I think it will always be like that it will never change in our world today. Im guilty of it but when I realize what Im doing I quickly try to change my way of looking at people.

I agree with you. The world would be a more pleasant place if everybody realized that we are all humans. No one deserves to be discriminated against or judged because of their race, religion, or even their political associations; and that is exactly what happens when people are categorized into groups. One group will always have something negative to say about another group, and on it goes. Every single human being, no matter what mistakes they have made in life, is still a human being with thoughts, feelings, and a soul. I try to treat others as I want to be treated.

Because we as a species need a way to organize data in our minds so it is natural for us. We think of things as hot or cold or by the usages to us and therefore stereo types are just another way of, for lack of a better term, organizing our Rolodex of information. It is party our socialization and partly our biology. However, having said that... Labeling and organizing are in and of themselves not a bad thing, it is the negative implications and treatment that result from this labeling that are. I am a strong supporter of just letting people be who they are and being who we are and avoiding labels whenever possbile but i think too many people especially School aged people think that the NEED to have opinions about everything and make judgments. So i agree with you, it is just a silly thing to do but it is, more than likely, one of those things you may need to live with.
