W7: deviance_Moon Jungun(문정언)

Summary


What is the deviance? Deviance is a behavior that violate cultural norms. Formal deviance means to violate what is legislated. And informal deviance means to violate informal social norms. These deviant behaviors could be analyzed with structural functionalism, conflict theory and labeling theory edit. Following structural functionalism, deviant behavior can imbalance societal equilibrium. And following conflict theory, it caused by the imbalance power and resources of the society. Lastly, labeling theory is that past actions affect the interpretation of the current action.

Mention&Question


Nobody would not the people who do not deviant behavior. I also have a deviant experience. In high school night self-study, I have been sneak away many times. I think, it is in deviant behavior because it is a bounden duty but I didn’t on my mind. It’s almost half forced, and an atmosphere of the school is everyone do night self-studying. But someone say it is not in deviant behavior, because it’s name is “self” study. In this way, it may change department of categories depending on the individual’s point of view.

Can you say accurate standard what is that of how much abnormal, or deviant behavior?

  2. It differ as culture.
    So, It is very relative.
    Exactly standard of deviance is no criteria.

  3. I agree with 도현's opinion. Deviant is relative. So standard is very ambiguous word. But crime can be deviant in all society.

  4. clearly, standard of deviation is relative.
    but, offense in violation of the law, everyone will be able to be regarded as deviant.
    And the size of the penalties will tell you whether it is how abnormal and deviant behavior.
