Introduction to deviance
Deviance is any behavior that violates cultural norms.Deviance is often divided into
two types of deviant activities. The first, crime is the violation of formally enacted
laws and is referred to as formal deviance.The second type of deviant behavior
refers to violations of informal social norms, norms that have not been codified
into law, and is referred to as informal deviance.Deviance can vary quite dramatically from culture to culture.Cultural norms are relative; this makes deviant behavior
relative as well.Current research on deviance by sociologists takes many forms.
For example,some researchers studies how some people exercise.
My opinion
Deviation evaluates different to each culture. Therefore, when you understand
the culture of the other, it should be understood relatively.I think deviant behaviors
cause which is the most easily to find in our society are 'Differential Association Theory'
and 'labeling theory'.
Your summary is similar to my summary. I focused on two type of deviance too.
