My Social Experiment on Deviance

The deviant activity that we did was, we we’re wearing pajamas inside the campus while walking around and acted like children, we played, talk like a babies and we we’re so friendly to the other student like what children do like smiling and saying hi/hello to them.
People respond to us like nothing because they already know that it is deviance but they were amaze because we we’re wearing pajamas and acting like children. Some ask “para asa na?” and we were just answering them “it’s deviance” some were saying we were cute and some are laughing because we were making fun of our voices inside the elevator.
My experiences about the activity is that it is fun but I can always feel the nervous, shame and embarrassed most especially when my high school friends see me or those person who know me because they are bullying me about my pajamas, my hair style and the things that I acted. But, I am very happy and proud that in my first sem of studying in Ateneo I experience that kind of activity and I learn that we should never judge a person because there is always a reason why they are doing things like deviance.

Interaction also results in the formation of certain deviant behaviors while others result from conflict or genetic markers. The criminal justice system…

    Conley in his chapter over Social Control and Deviance make a sociologic approach to criminology and society. He also demonstrates approaches to the subject from various points of views of different sociologists such as Emilee Durkheim, Foucault, and Robert Merton. To Conley, the transgressions of the society norms such as crimes can vary from a culture to another culture, context, or with the divisions of labor as people get more professionally specialized. This labor division introduces a concept made by Emilee Durkheim, in which the society was divide in two system called Organic Solidary and Mechanical Solidarity.…

    Breaching Experiment The three social norms I violated were sitting with my own “clique” during lunch, brushing my teeth at home, and not interacting with others as I walk down the street. I chose to do these because once I learned that they’re considered social norms, I wanted to learn how big of a role they play in regards to social control. I conducted the first part of the experiment in the larger cafeteria of Lehigh Career & Technical Institute, as it is my assigned cafeteria.…

    Deviance, social sanctions, and the control theory are other sociological concepts observed in the film. Deviance depicts an action that disobeys social norms. Every character in the film is seen as deviant by either their actions that forced them into detention, or executed actions during the detention. For example, Claire is deviant because she skips class so she can go shopping, and during detention, she instigates a relationship with John. Allison appears in detention because she was bored on a Saturday, and during detention, she steals Brian’s wallet. Andrew is deviant when he smokes since he is a varsity-lettered wrestler. John is incessantly deviant because he challenges and argues with Principal Vernon, does not partake in school clubs…

    Deviance is a word that has instinctively bad connotations around it, to know someone that is deviant is to know someone who has acted in an unacceptable manner. However, who are we to judge, in whose eyes makes a particular act deviant, and who makes the rules around deviance? These questions formulate the answer to why a ‘society of saints’ is an unattainable goal (Roach Anleu 2006, p17). Theories to why humans act out in different ways, has been disputed since the 1800’s, and no exact answer is available to this question. With all of the studies that have been performed, no one group has come up with an exact reason to why people behave deviantly, or what permits one person to label an action deviant. There is no exact definition or answer, why deviance exists, or created in societies (Southern Cross University Study Guide, p.10). However, the psychological perspective, biological perspective, and the sociological perspective, may help determine social processes and phenomena’s.…

    To deviate from societal "norm" is to, in my opinion, fluctuate from what society deems acceptable at that time. I believe the deciding factor on "normal" is by the group or groups which hold majority. For example: At one time in this country (the state Oklahoma) it was considered taboo or deviant to mark the body with tattoos. The majority of society was over the age of the ones wearing the markings. This act was considered deviant and carried consequences as many felt it was an indication of lack of trustworthiness and self-respect. Today, however, as the majority has shifted, it is not uncommon to see doctors, lawyers, educators, and even politicians bearing tattoos.…

    Deviance according to the textbook is a violation of contextual, cultural, and social norms I usually look don’t approve or partake in deviant acts, but this week I did do something that technically would count as a deviant act. Last Sunday was my friend's birthday, and we decided to have lunch at a buffet with other friends. All of my friends who came gave her a gift, but I did not. I usually bring gifts or offerings to people if they have a birthday party or some other special occasion, but for this one I just forgot. One of my best friends asked me if I got her a gift, I said no and he looked at me and nodded his head in disapproval. Presents were optional, but the fact that everyone else besides me gave a present made me feel bad. What made me more guilty was that her parents paid for my meal.…

    Deviance is part of every culture and society, it is the border line between acceptable and intolerable behavior. Each micro society holds it's own definition as to what deviant behavior actually is. The deviant is one to whom that label has successfully been applied, deviant behavior is behavior that people label. Through out history, there is no doubt in my mind that deviant citizens have been a contributing part to each generation. It is all relative, a label of deviance remains a label of deviance; the question that remains really is "what is deviance?". Being labeled as an outside is not foreign for some people. Matter of fact it is acceptable and a norm to be labeled as deviant for some people. No matter what group of people you deal with through out history or life today, there are social rules written and sometimes unwritten, nonetheless meant to be broken.…

    An example of human behavior in one society that is considered deviant and not in another would be polygamy. In most of American society, polygamy is considered a deviant behavior. Having more than one spouse is nearly unthought-of though not unheard of in America. The factors that contributed to the perspective of polygamy being considered deviant behavior is based on the Old Testament of the Christian bible stating that marriage is between one man and one woman, which is also homosexuality is frowned upon. Radical sects of the Mormon religion, certain tribes in Africa and Muslims around the world are types of societies that embrace polygamy as a way of life. Some say polygamy can only thrive in a two class society. They say societies that embrace Polygamy, really polygyny, a man having more than 1 wife, would turn into a two class society. However, men in the high class would inevitably have many wives as the men who are low class would be left out from procreating and matrimony. This could as lead to women not being treated equally and being thought of as trophies, as in a game of who can have the most wives.…
