... Within disability studies, valuable scholarship has been conducted on the phenomenon of the gaze and its role in casting disabled people as the other in various settings, from freak shows to medical theaters and public spaces (Bogdan, 1988;Chemers, 2008;Garland-Thomson, 2009;Hevey, 2006). Disability studies scholars point out that this gaze categorizes and assigns meanings to the disabled body, transforming disabled people into spectacles by choreographing the distance between disabled and non-disabled people. ...

... Daha yüksek düzeydeki hedefler daha az ikame edilebilir ve engellerle karşılaşıldığında terk edilme olasılığı daha düşüktür. Dolayısıyla ilişkisel hedef arayışı teorisi, belirli ünlülerle saplantılı ve aşırı derecede bağlantı kurmaya çalışan hayranların, özellikle ünlünün hayran için ideal bir öz imajı temsil ettiği koşullar altında, ünlüyle ilişki kurma hedefini daha üst düzey hedeflerle ilişkilendirdiğini öne sürer (Caughey, 1984). Hayranın ünlüyle bağlantı kurma hedefinin abartılı arzu edilirliği, hayranın ısrarlı ve uygunsuz takip faaliyetini teşvik eder. ...

... One subtask or a set of subtasks is assigned to each group member. We refer to the whole of subtasks assigned to a single group member as the 'task role', building on role concepts that have long been neglected in psychology (Blumberg, Hare, Kent, & Davies, 1983), but limiting these concepts in accordance with Emer y's (1978) concept of 'occupational roles' to the clearly defined aspect of tasks assigned to a group member. In a work group, each member ...

... The 'hood' term has gangster associations, 20 while the 'greaser' term has pejorative ethnic connotations, referring primarily to Italian-or Hispanic-Americans who were seen as using a lot of hair oil, or being unwashed, or both. The terminology starts to evolve with the counterculture in the 1970s, so that the oppositional types become defined by drug use (Eckert's 'burnouts', Palonsky's 'hempies') or the all-purpose word for weird-dressing (from the point of view of the dominant groups) countercultural types of that era, 'freaks' (Varenne, 1982(Varenne, , 1983). Despite the evolution of the terminology, however, the general characteristics of the type in this box remain the same-'wild' in terms of both school opposition and (real or imagined) heightened sexuality; and modally lower-or working-class backgrounds. ...

... Since the 1980s, however, there has been increased interest in studying the origin and function of ethnic jokes (Martin, 1998). Sociological research on ethnic jokes has centered on sources of ethnic humor, which are " ethnocentrism, in-group adulation, out-group resentment, prejudice, and intolerance of the life-styles of others (Apte, 1985). " In addition, sociological studies have shown interest in studying the functions of ethnic jokes in multiethnic society (see below). ...

... Age has traditionally characterised career change teachers. For instance, Brandes' (1985) earlier work suggests that career change decisions are more likely to occur around the age of 40 when individuals face a decline in career satisfaction.
