Labeling

There is a psychological term called "labeling".

Labeling potentially occurs in any situation.

For example, if parents raise their kid by tell him/her "you are stupid and useless", the kid will label him/herself as underserved one from the society.

On the other hand, if the parent tell their kid "you are smart and thoughtful person", the kid label the other way around.


This labeling effect may be applicable for social change.


People have given names for materials around them regardless of the language which they use.


Naming caters a strong power to unnamed substances, namely unity or solidarity.


For example, the words "gangster" or "mafia" have known to possess strong meaning more than the literal meaning.

Those two words potentially include fear, violence, illegal, murder and etc.

In other words, words are well representation of our state of mind.


Well, let me go back to the labeling

Social labeling would cause revolutionary effect.


That is alternating the names/labels of undesired groups to very different ones.

For example, "gangster" could be changed to "pinky swears".

If the social labeling is going to be successful, not only we can lose our negatives but also loosen the power of the groups.

Inner feeling

Fighting for one's faith is a primary promise for those who in a practice.

In the end of "the silence", the masterpiece of Shusaku Endo, a priest who had fought against rulers in the region stepped on a metallic plate which a figure of Jesus Christ was crafted, which the action seemingly indicates the abundant of practice. Additionally, for Christians, the stepping on the plates are perceived as a disgrace for Christianity.

However, there is a critical reason of stepping on the metal plate. It is a mental excruciation which was caused by watching people suffering from torture.


The point that I'd like to make is how religions capture the action that one pretends to betray their religion in order to protect one's belief or faith. For example Galileo Galilei is a good description for this case. He strongly believed that his theory was rational and scientifically legitimate. On the contrary, priests around his age had judged his ideas false and unacceptable. Galilei, therefore, had to give up his scientific claims and lied in the testimony; otherwise, he might have been sentenced death.

By giving upon his claim, he eventually was not seen as a religious mutineer and could spent rest of his life with out of huge trouble.

However, from religious perspective how his actions is dealt with?

This could be a good social science topic to be discussed.

Interference to your dream

Daily occasions interfere with your dream.

As I can say it's almost my habitual daily pattern, I'm really into watching CSI.

At first, watching inside of human bodies are shocking but you will be tolerate to that after watching it for several seasons.

However, the tolerance, at the same time, loses your excitement toward the drama because you feel all investigation processes are not new and fascinating anymore.

The same pattern of the tolerance also has happened to soccer cheering.

Watching soccer was exciting at the first 5 to 7 years, but gradually the number of falling asleep during watching had increased.

Going by to interference of daily occasion to your dream occurs when the once up on exciting things get boring.

I took a nap today and saw a dream. It was almost a painful nightmare.

My girl friend shoot a guy and i help her to cover up the crime scene. At the end of the dream, both of us ended up catching by the police.

The dream seems to be a good lesson for us not to take violent actions caused by strong negative passion or motive.
