you will want to revise the title “fail stigmatization” this does not make sense “causes more concerns” — vague various demographics — like what? look this up and include some data. use a reputable medical source. there is no thesis statement Goffman — the citations are incomplete. I do not know what source you are using, but you should be using the assigned chapter, which is dated 1963, not 1986. references need formating to not mention your stigma in the summary of stigma you used Goffman’s exact words without using quotations. this will earn that section a zero. the summary of stigma theory should be only 1 paragraph. this is an okay start, but it needs revision and editing. cases — too long, should only be one paragraph. this should be about half this length, about half a page. use man not male analysis — the first statement needs a citation. you should consult a medical source for symptoms. there are valid reasons to stigmatize someone. it is not about misconceptions. you can discuss that at the end if you wish. the analysis does not analyze the cases. instead, it seems to be based on secondary sources. the analysis has no points about stigma, most likely because it is based on secondary sources and is not actually an analysis. instead, make points about how depression is stigmatized. the first two sections need serious revision, the analysis will need to be rewritten to earn a passing grade.

.What factors have contributed to the stereotype of the model minority? How is the model minority concept harmful to Asiam Americans?

The Thomas Theorem states that if individuals define situations as real, they are real in their consequences. What this means is that people’s behavior can be determined by their subjective construction of reality rather than by objective reality. There are many ways to illustrate this concept. In the recorded lecture for this chapter, l argued that when a person yells fire in a theater it will cause panic whether a fire exists or not. The panic in this case is caused by a subjective construction of reality (somebody yelling fire) rather than an objective reality (an actual fire). Similarly, if somebody were to consistently watch news reports featuring violent crimes, they may go out and purchase an alarm system, iron bars for their windows, a large pit bull, and a weapon to protect themselves because they think that they may be a victim of violent crime. Violent crime may actually be decreasing in their city or neighborhood, but to them it doesn’t matter because their behavior has been shaped by a subjective construction of reality (news reports that focus on violent crimes) rather than objective reality (decreasing violent crime rates). What are some other social situations where people act a certain way based on a subjective construction of reality rather than objective reality?
