Introduction

A private label brand refers to a brand sponsored by a specific dealer, retailer, or merchant as opposed from a brand bearing the name of a producer or manufacturer.

The labeling theory argues that some people become the labels that people give them, and therefore it is good to be careful with the labels that we give Continue reading...

As a result, we end up spending more and more in order to maintain the same quality of life that we had before. This phenomenon has spread throughout Canada, as more and more individuals are sinking into deep debt, with little to no way out. I choose to dispute the warning Continue reading...

- Introduction and Thesis Statement

Evil is often confused with what we consider “deviant” behavior.Deviance is any behavior that does not fit within social norms (Ferris & Stein, 2011). Even if something is determined to be deviant in one culture it doesn’t mean that it is deviant in all cultures (Ferris & Stein, 2011).
