Labels are Essencial

Though creating labels for large groups of people may have some negative implications, I feel they are essencial in our culture and politics. Labels may make people who do not fit into a specific category or who fall into several feel alone. But, without them the entire population would feel this way. Individuals who believe in an unpopular concept or act differently than what is expected of them by society would feel isolated and strange. Creating labels gives comfort in having a name and therefore normalness to thoughts and actions. Also, being in groups gives your thoughts more power. If individuals separately lobbied for a cause I feel it wouldn't be as effective as a large organized group fighting for change. There is often much more power in numbers.
