Summary:

Deviance means an act which is contrary to the prevailing notion that any culture has.
Deviance is a relative concept, depending on the culture.
Kind of deviance theories are psychological explanations, social-strain typology, structural functionalism, conflict theory and labeling theory.
Structural functionalism is used deviance as a criterion for discerning the correct behavior and inappropriate behavior.
Conflict theory is that because the social resources are unevenly distributed, The individual do deviant behavior.
Labeling theory is that once a person adopts negative label, that person may do deviance.


Opinion:

This material was very interesting to me.
Although there are many deviance in the world, excessive deviance like crime should disappear.
Among the various theories, the theory that I was most empathy is conflict theory.



Question:

Among the theory about deviance what do you think is the best theory to explain the causes of the deviation? And what is the reason?
