The essay will consider normative and postmodern sociological theories which can be applied within the article "Complaint lodged against judge who made 'offensive', 'discriminatory' comments to Aboriginal defendants” by Maddocks, 2017. It takes into account expectations of our society regarding judicial application plus the mental strain which may be exerted on the judge as an individual in the execution of his office. It also considers the position of the media and its ability to exert labelling power upon an individual or institution, concluding that the media as an external force can manipulate the movement and direction of cultural normativity
