SCATTERGORIES (Labeling, Stereotyping, Judging, and Categorizing)

When a man and a women meet for the first time there is something
that happens along side this first impression encounter. Some rules
and guidelines are outlined and established. Boundaries and
barriers are put in place as a sort of containment system that will
govern how these two interact with each in the future. This starts
the “categorizing” process. So why do we categorize each other upon
meeting? Why cant we just leave everyone in the same category and
not be defined and governed by such feeble rules. The answer is
simple and yet it is not a gender specific thing, but rather
categorizing is a human trait. Everyone we meet we categorize. This
allows us to follow the rules of how we are to interact with this
person in the future. So lets look at the differences between men
and women when it comes to categories on this episode of Eclectic
Perspectives. We will also look at the impact of labeling,
stereotyping, and judging as well.
