DEVIANCE
Being a deviant person is someone who breaks a social rule. Most of us tennagers including me breaks the common social rule which is underage drinking. we dont see no ham to it or a wrong at the moment, but we never think about the consequences that would take place after. Most deviance is not illegal, there just in the "wrong" group as explained in chapter 6. The unfairnes soceity brings is a person will be named deviance just by the way they are or look or their affects. In my understanding of deviance is the rules that you break not neccesarilly need to be illegal but social, breaking the rules on what people believe is "wrong" or not right. On my understanding everyone can be a devaint person once in their life wether intentionally or unintentionally.

I completely agree. I also think that rule is really stupid. Deviance is something we do on almost daily basis. Sometimes its not even really noticed because its so minor. Society in some way creates all our rules wheather they are offical or unofficial. Society also always deems what is deviant.
ReplyDeleteI see what your saying about the intentionally and unintentionally thing. And thats why i feel that Deviance shouldnt be seen as negative just different. Because not obeying social norms is how so many great things come about. People who challenge what is shoved in their face are the strongest people this world knows. I am proud to call my self a deviant to society and i wouldnt want it any other way.
