  Howard Becker's Labeling Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Becker's theory evolved during a period of social and political power struggle that was amplified within the world of the college campus (Pfohl 1994).
Becker (1963) describes rules as the reflection of certain social norms held by the majority of a society, whether formal or informal.
Becker (1963) acknowledges that his labeling theory is a theoretical approach, not a true theory, and that sociologists should attempt to establish empirical tests for his approach.

Becker dwelled at length on this development.(6) He repeatedly suggested, in a way that somewhat reifies the evolutionary process, that this development of individual self consciousness in one species is a great experimental leap forward by the evolutionary process itself.
Becker understood the Oedipus complex to be a kind of short hand expression for the early conditioning process which each child undergoes.(10) It is the mechanism by which the child gains a cultural world view, a sense of self worth and a sense of morality.
Becker felt that because human nature was essentially malleable, a moral commitment to the perfectibility of human nature was essential to a social science aimed at the improvement of the individual and society.

 Amazon.com: The DENIAL OF DEATH: Books: Ernest Becker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Becker states at the outset the problem in our day is not that there isn't enough knowledge, the problem is that there isn't enough integration of this knowledge into a kind of wisdom that would properly summarize the accumulated knowledge.
Becker also attempts to show that neurosis is at least in part a result of not being able to erect the 'denial of death' defense mechanisms so many do, and that those who traverse the depths of human existence cannot but go mad to some degree.
Becker is, in my understanding of this profound book, simply describing the mechanism of evil, where man goes awry and why he continues to act in ways contrary to what he knows best.

In the final episode, Becker complains about a female patient, saying, "I pity the poor bastard married to her." The actress playing the patient is Mary Steenburgen, Ted Danson's real-life wife.
However, next to Becker the best character was the simply fantastic Reggie, who was played by Terry Farrel up until she was bizarrely fired based on reasons of 'creative direction' late on in the show's run by the producers.
Becker's constant rantings might be repetitive, but they were always funny because we can actually relate to the aspects of life which got his goat up so much.

 Becker's muscular dystrophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Becker's muscular dystrophy (also known as Benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy) is an X-linked recessive inherited disorder characterized by slowly progressive muscle weakness of the legs and pelvis.
Becker's muscular dystrophy is related to Duchenne muscular dystrophy in that both result from a mutation in the dystrophin gene, but in Duchenne muscular dystrophy no functional dystrophin is produced making DMD much more severe than BMD.
Becker's muscular dystrophy occurs in approximately 3 to 6 in 100,000 male births.
