Deviance/week7/Juhee Cha

1.summary

Deviance is an act that violates cultural norms. Norms are the expectations of society. A photo of a man selling his nose in class is also a deviation. Deviation includes psychological and biological explanations, structural-functionalism, conflict theory, and labeling theory. Among these, structural-functionalism plays an important role in abnormal behavior. Deviation helps distinguish between normative and non-normal behavior. The Labeling theory teaches two concepts that an individual deviates. The first is when labels are assigned and the second is when they adopt labels by showing their associated behavior.

2.interesting point

I found the labeling theory interesting. The labeling theory is made by stigma, which is one of the important factors in concept. A brand is an act of the past. For example, let's take it as a sex offense. However, the identity is hidden because it is relatively impossible to select sex offenders in the crowd. By pushing a sex offender's identity from a public perspective, a sex offender is branded regardless of the current behavior. It is hard to get out of the stigma because these groups are mired in abnormal identities that overwhelm other identities. So I became synonymous with this theory.

3.discussion point

Deviance is when it is out of social norms. The easiest thing to think of is a crime that doesn't obey the law. What else can be said to be a deviation from an offence?
