Define labeling and explain why labeling is a barrier to communication

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Labeling involves describing a person with a word that limits him or her, such as "lazy" or "mean." Deciding the other person is mean, lazy, a complainer, or difficult causes a breakdown in communication. When labeling, you do not pay attention to the message being sent. If you listen, you might find out the reason for the behavior.
