A moral career according to Erving Goffman is one where "people who have a particular stigma tend to have similar learning experiences about their fate and similar changes in their self-concept." An example of this from Stigma is the blind woman Domenica, who was at the beach and thought to be asleep at the time, and heard one of her friends say that he liked her, but that he would never date a blind girl. Before this situation, she did not know that being blind was such a terrible and inconceivable condition. Her home and family members most likely prevented her from learning that being blind would prevent her from certain opportunities and limit her enjoyment and quality of life in this area. Another example from the book is the person who suffered from cerebral palsy.

After becoming president, he had the opportunity to use his power to raise awareness about the disease. Moral career is what happens when a stigmatized person understands their stigma and is protected while growing up, and then they lose that sense of protection when they are thrown out onto the streets. real world. This is something that people considered “normal” still have to deal with to some extent. For example, some of the students I went to high school with were bullied by others simply because the bully felt he could get away with it. The book also mentions that there are many corrective surgical procedures for people with physical deformities to get rid of their stigma and improve their lives.
