Answer:

The sociological perspective that  best explains Scott's experience is the Labeling Theory  

Explanation:

The labelling theory holds  that self-identity and the behavior of individuals may be  influenced by the terms used to describe or classify them. It is associated with the concepts of self-fulfilling prophecy and stereotyping.

In the case of Scott, the unfair treatment he received from his teacher and the reputation he received as a problem child influenced his character and behavior prompting him to drop out of school and have a negative mindset of being a failure.  

Hence the answer is Labeling Theory

Answer:

Labeling theory                      

Explanation:

The sociological perspective that best explains Scott's experience is labeling theory. Labeling theory asserts that an individuals behavior is influenced by the label used on them. For example when an individual is labeled as a gifted/intelligent child, he/she ends up becoming intelligent. In like manner, when an individual is labeled by society as a deviant, he most likely ends up as a deviant.

Scott was labeled as a problem child by his teachers because of the behaviors of his older brothers and he ended up being a problem child due to the labeling.

In the early 1900s, native-born Americans, usually Protestants, did NOT consider Irish, Italian, or Jewish immigrants to be whit
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

<h2>C.The social construction of race </h2>

Explanation:

Race is a social construct, it is not biological. There are no genes common to all whites and blacks so race cannot be genetically verified and it were true then the classification of people based on race would have been constant across boundaries, but it is not so because a person who is categorised as black in US might be considered white in Latin american countries.

The Greeks, Poles, Italian and Hungarian migrants were not considered to be whites in 1800s and 1900s, they tried to overcome it by showing through behaviour that they were worthy of being called white. The people form Netherlands,Ireland,Scandinavian countries and Germany were considered to be white.  

The Americans were afraid that the foreigners would bring peculiar religious practices and substandard ways of living and religious practises to this country , that would bring down this civilisation.

Help!! How is apple successful and unsuccessful at branding??
Nikolay [14]
The company Apple, has had many successful and unsuccessful attempts at products and branding. Its been quite successful in the companny's ability to diffuse their products around the world. iPhones and other apple products ca be found nearly in every continent and the newest iPhone always seems to be trending on social media. However, like all companies, Apple's less successful products have lead to although minor commercial failures. Many complain that apple's merchandise are overpriced and al the same leading to less commercial values than originally anticipated.
Take the iPhone SE for instance, mirroring almost exactly the same as the iPhone 4, was to say the least, not Apple's greatest success.
