10.1-Introduction to Sociology/Deviance

1) Summarization

Deviance refers to any behavior or action that goes against societal norms or expectations. Individuals who engage in deviant behavior are often stigmatized and labeled as 'outsiders' or 'criminals.' Deviance can be caused by many factors, including psychological, social, and economic factors.

2) What was interesting/what did you learn?

Sociologists study deviance to understand its causes and effects on society. They also examine the ways in which society responds to deviant behavior, including how punishment and rehabilitation are used to address it. Deviance can range from minor acts, such as skipping school, to more serious behaviors like theft or murder. Ultimately, deviance is a social construct and what is considered deviant can vary across cultures and historical periods.

3) Discussion points

How does the media influence our perceptions of deviance?

    In general, media such as various movies and dramas treat deviations as inappropriate behavior that violates social norms. And this message delivery in the media makes us perceive deviance as simply inappropriate behavior that violates social norms.
