Storyboard Text
- Useless street kids!
- Just going to grow up to be thieves and criminals
- ???
- Is that really all I am? A thief? I only stole a pen from my teacher once.
- I guess this is who I am...
- ZZZZ
- A rich bank man walks through a low-class community to get to work. Today he's with a co-worker. They pass a skate park where children are playing and we see the men discuss their opinions. During this conversation, we can see Labelling Theory take place, as a child overhears.
- 10 Years Later...
- Time to get back at those rich bankers!
- We start to see the impact of being labeled as the young boy starts to wonder if what the rich banker said was true.
- HAHA! SUCKERS!
- You are being detained, you have the right to remain silence.....
- What have I done?
- For some people, being labeled as a deviant might actually encourage them to act far more defiantly.As we see the boy stealing money from his mother's purse.
- HEY! I just robbed you're bank!
- That's funny! So did I kid, so did I.
- As mentioned in the last text box, being labeled can cause people to believe it and act defiantly, now we can see the young boy is grown up and now committing street crimes.
- The young man is now arrested, and due to his social status, he will now permanently be labeled. As well as be going to prison, due to his low income will not have the money to fight for his freedom and will go to prison no matter what.
- During this slide, we see the young man who is arrested going to jail, while a small encounter with the same rich banker who is now the owner. With the brief conversation, we see the rich banker walk off free-handed while committing a crime, but he's able to get away with it due to his social status, this is also an example of white-collar crime.
