After reading the chapter, module, and article, what were your initial thoughts about social process theory? Can you think of an example of something you have “become” and what that process was like?  Who taught you?  How did it feel in the beginning?  What does it mean to become something?

Next, consider the power of a label. Do you have any labels that have been attached to you in your life that affects how you behave in society? What are they and how do they influence your behavior? Give a specific example.

How do the labels we attach to people who commit crime make it difficult to reintegrate back into society?

Answer all parts of the questions.
