Categorizing People

How do you classify it? Walker Percy, Danzy Senna, and "Two Kinds" have created various kinds of explanations that can be presented to a single person. What is classified is judged by different opinions and opinions. The image of the world is to express everyone and everything in the class sense. Categories can be divided into three categories: people, society and other observation fields. First, people tend to judge people through the cover. Most people just compare their race and skin color.

The first one is classification. Classify objects to understand and identify them. In order to understand the social environment, we classify people in a very similar way, including us. Social categories such as black, white, Australian, Christian, Muslim, student, bus driver are used. Second stage, in social recognition, we adopt the identity of the group to which we belong. For example, if you classify yourself as a student, you may adopt the student's identity and initiate actions in a way that you believe the student will act (and to comply with the group's specifications) I do not. Your identity with the group becomes emotional and your pride is closely related to the group members.

One of the psychological shortcuts we use for human perception is called social classification. In the process of social classification, we psychically divide people into different groups based on common characteristics. Although this process may be done consciously, in most cases social classification is done automatically and unconsciously. The most common grouped users are age, gender, occupation, ethnicity, and so on. Like many psychological shortcuts, social classification has both good and bad aspects. One of the benefits of social classification is that it allows people to make decisions immediately. In fact, you do not have the time to understand everyone personally in contact with you. Using social classification, you can make decisions and build expectations on how people act quickly under certain circumstances. This allows you to focus on other things.
