I Learn Something....

juz yesterday, i have this sociology lesson.
it was talking about labelling theory.....

basically it was saying that when a person is labelled as let's say, "slow-learner" by a lot of people and even his/her teacher labelled him/her as a "slow-learner" thus expecting him/her to be slow in learning, then that poor person will really be a slow-learner.....
so for example if a lot of ppl said that a certain someone cannot appreciate the ppl around him/her, then he/she will really cannot appreciate the ppl around him/her......

now, i find this "labelling theory" claim a bit funny (although a certain number of sociologists agreed to the theory)
i think they r stereotyping ppl, which is not really wrong bcoz i also believe out of 1,000 ppl, maybe only 1 will not b affected by this "labelling effect".

i was thinking, wat will it take for that 1 person to be able to "resist" the "labelling effect".....
super HIGH ego???
super duper HIGH level of confidence???
or they juz dun care abt wat other ppl think abt him/her???

while i was thinking, it kinda reminds me of this 1 person that really fall into this category.....
but still....., i dunno wat causes him to be able to resist it.....
this is different from STUBBORN, this is even more STUBBORN than STUBBORN, STUBBORN until cannot help one.....
but it may not b a bad thing....., well i dunno.....

and for who that person is, you can make a good guess but i wun reveal the name :p
