Introduction to Sociology/Deviance

Summation

Deviance is any behavior that violates cultural norms.

 

 

*Theories of Deviance

- Social-Strain Typology

Typology of deviant behavior

- Structural-Functionalism

This approach explain that deviant behavior plays an important role in society for several reasons.

 

 

- Conflict Theory

A clear example of how deviance reflects power imbalances is in the reporting and tracking of crimes. White-collar crimes are typically committed by individuals in higher social classes.

- Labeling Theory

The idea that individuals become deviant when two things occur.

1.a deviant label is applied to them

2.they adopt the label by exhibiting the behaviors, actions, and attitudes associated with the label

Opinion

Deviance is a very interesting topic because this is thought as easy approaching in our lives. and I also had a lot of deviant behavior. People always have a difficult thing, and avoid it frequently. However, when the deviant behavior is labelled to others, the problem can occur. people recognize that student playing deviance of the lost moment is the disorderly student. and The person recognized as a disorderly student repeats deviations again. This is a problem in the ‘Labeling Theory’. So, face of the criminals should not make public personally. It is able to incite deviant behavior again.

Question

Dviations cause is that social causes is big? personal cause is big?

Making public of the face of the criminal is the best way to improve the problems of labeling theory?
