There are words used in different senses and situations. They are called multivalued. There are terms that are spreading the concept to different industries and areas of life. Take, for example, the word “stigma”. This concept is found in the literature, it is used in livestock and jewelry. There are other areas where you can hear this word. And what is the mark, how to interpret and understand? Let's deal.
Look Through the dictionaries. In our case it is the easiest and most sensible method of research. It says: “Stigma – is a special mark for goods or pet containing information”. That is, we are dealing with a kind of personalization. So, jewelry put a sign which indicates the fineness (precious metal content). Is the uniform rule adopted by the expert community. That is, each jeweler looking at the product, understand what is its real value. It turns out that the mark – a method of transmitting information between people. But that's not all. The same token ring or necklace puts some responsibility on the person who placed it. If a jeweler is cheating, it will reveal “praise” for the whole world. These labels invented by now for lots of things. Each passes around a specific, necessary and useful information about the product, in addition, tells about the manufacturer. Came to the conclusion that the stigma – is a special sign of multifaceted content. He tells those who can read it, his media and the author.
Scientists rightly believe that the essence of any fact or phenomenon can be understood deeper when you dig into the history of its origin. To understand what the mark, we have a good take advantage of this logical and clear principle. You know that the world population is growing exponentially. This process began not yesterday, not even in the last century. The trend can be seen for thousands of years. People become more relationship is more complex. Many of them occupy property issues. At a certain stage of society development there was a need to introduce uniform (i.e. all clear) sign that identifies ownership of property. So the idea branding. Ancient people purposely inflicted burns on the skin of domestic animals and slaves. Now this sign on the body of cattle is called a brand. But to stigmatize people is strictly prohibited by law in modern civilized countries.

In order to inflict a burn with a special picture, a necessary tool. The same can be said about the seals on the products. This tool has the same title – a brand. Make it unique or unified. For example, jewelry is commonly applied test. Its value is unified, that all was clear. But, in addition, the mark may be a mark of the manufacturer. It's unique. Every jeweler has their own symbol. In the past each owner had his own mark, to be able to distinguish your property from similar but belonging to different owners. It was a kind of jurisprudence in its infancy.
Examining what it means to the mark, it is impossible not to recall the famous novel “the Three Musketeers”. There's a scene that reflects the essence of the studied concepts. Shoulder beauty count found the mark of the Lille city. This print has a different meaning. It used to use as punishment. The mark was put on the offender so that anyone could understand the point of this shameless person. To be caught in the crime was considered a great shame. Those who broke the law were punished. But in contrast to the current rules did not forgive. People had until the end of his days to pay for their actions. Hence the expression "denounce". It means moral responsibility for the error that is not removed nor good deeds, nor the time.
We all tried to figure out what does the word “stigma”. Most often we encounter it, when we speak of the notoriety earned by someone nefarious deeds. That is, the concept has a negative meaning. But in fact, the brand originally stands for normal, not shameful sign that contains the desired information to others. And found the word a bad color just because of the ease of application. Early skin grafting was not, from burn marks to clean seemed impossible. Because the executioners felt that to put the stamp on the body of the offender – a good solution, so he couldn't get rid of that incriminating sign. Such a “joke story” happened to an ordinary, a very commonplace symbol of ownership of the property owner. Meanwhile, the master found this idea very useful. The mark as a promotional tool has gained popularity, which is still not lost.
