B. Ask 5 people to describe what they think of when asked to imagine a person who is given the label you are investigating. Record their answers.
C. Analyze the possible social advantages or disadvantages of being given this label. Is it more likely to positively or negatively impact a person's life, self-esteem, or social status? Move them up or down the social ladder? Make them an "us" or a "them."
