Which of the following is true concerning labeling?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

D) All of the answers are correct

Explanation:

Two people can label the same situation differently which leads to different perceptions. A bad experience could be labelled as a trauma and can lead to several psychiatric disorders like PTSD or depression. Often when we label something we also generalize a situation or a person. Labeling someone in this way can lead other people to oppress that person or take their advantage. For example a label like HIV positive is generally taken in  a negative sense by people and it overshadows all other aspects of a person's life.

How can you maintain a reasonable level of fitness as you get older? Is there a point at which fitness becomes irrelevant becaus
dsp73
This varies from person to person. There is a point in time at which hormones in a persons body begin to loose their effective functions, a period I have heard reffered to as adult puberty. In women this is marked by menopause. While you can still theoretically maintain a healthy body at this time, it becomes increasingly difficult. Maintaining a healthy diet and constant exercise are essential to achieving this. A doctor won't tell you much more than this.
