1. summary
Society has a number of normative systems for its existence. Society expects members to adhere to social norms, and it also forces them through norms such as law. Sometimes, however, members of society go beyond these social norms or expectations, which are called deviant behavior.
Some people tried to explain the reason for deviant behavior through their biological or psychological characteristics. Today, however, most of these claims are unrecognized and it is common to try to psychologically analyze the causes of deviant behavior.
Causes of deviant behavior can be explained from a variety of theoretical perspectives. In the macro view, deviance is caused by weakening control of social norms. On the other hand, conflict theory suggests that the capitalist system that promotes inequality is the fundamental reason for deviation.
On the other hand, from a micro perspective, we understand deviant behavior based on the meaning of the individual or the interaction process of the member. In other words, attention should be paid to how deviant behavior is defined, and to what process an individual learns and repeats the deviant behavior.
2. What is interesting
The section on criminal statistics was interesting. We found that crime is likely to be a result of the negative nature of people and the environment around it, and that the higher the crime rate, the poorer it is. Although this may be an interaction of various reasons, it is interesting to know that statistics can predict the frequency of crime and the environment of criminals.
There were also tattoos of acts that were previously defined as deviant but have changed perception. In the past, if a tattoo was a sign of the identity of a negative character, it was now a way to reveal one's personality.
3. Discussion Point
I would like to think about a change in perception of deviance other than tattoos. It's because today we are free to express ourselves beyond the conservative and tight stereotype of the past.
