Deviance
Deviance goes against the norms of society and staying away from the normal rules of society . Deviance can range from anything like coming to class late , stealing food , fighting and even changing your daily routine . Anything from the normal is deviance . Most forms of deviance have many negative results.There's formal and informal deviance , formal is breaking the law and informal is breaking minor informed norms . We always have label theory of deviance which is a symbolic interaction perspective . Deviance in simplest form is being a rebel to the rules society has set for us to follow.
In this video the man claims he was in front of the McDonalds line and that the young girl had busted in front of him . As you can see they seem to exchanged some heavy words. He got so upset that he actually punched the girl several times in the face . She had to be in her early teens and yet that did not have any effect on him . As she failed to the floor you see a younger girl runs over to her help , he also pushed the younger girl . Once he was done beating on the young girl he grab his kids and fled the McDonalds .This is a perfect example of deviance because so many norms are being broken . He as the adult should had defuse the situation but instead he added heat to the situation by arguing with the young girl . Then he goes and puts his hands on the young girl which breaks three norms at once . Fighting for one but not just any fighting , fighting a girl and a child . He actions was deviance at its highest . Though norms are broken everyday this is an example of a formal deviance . His actions can result in jail time which is also known as a formal sanction . Being an adult he should be a leading example but instead all he did was show his younger kids that it was okay to fight and hit girls . Our generation is failing as a whole cause the people we look up to as adults are acting like kids and showing us that deviance is the norm , which is so wrong .

ReplyDeleteThe example used is a good one. The guy hitting the girl is a formal deviance. There are laws that go against his actions. He could have had major consequences had there been any law enforcement notified.
For future references, i would give more examples and a more personal view on the matter. I felt that this blog was more factual. If it was a more personal feeling i feel as though the discussion could go way futher.
