Labels are loaded. When we give something a clever label, such as e-commerce, we heighten its power by endowing it with a complexity it lacks and an importance it may not merit, making it seem at once both desirable and difficult (as in requiring an industry of experts) to accomplish. Conversely, when we fail to label something, such as abuse, and either ignore it or call it something else (e.g., temper), we diminish our own power to confront it by keeping those (family, friends, experts) who might help in the dark as to its existence.
