Stigmatization of Illnesses

David starts to take us in a little different direction. He added, "What I mean is tattoos and piercings. People automatically think of a certain type of person when they think of or see people that are dressed this way. I know I have heard that most people are Goths or bikers or, how many people have you seen on television that is a bad guy or insane person without a tattoo."

We have seen how the media and our culture can influence us to think and perceive certain ideas. Class, we can start to see parts of the sociological theories come to play to help give us an explanation. Can you take one of the theories and apply it to this topic?
