Deviance

In today\'s

world deviance is everywhere.Where did it come from ? I want to know what is deviance and what reasons adoes it exist .So in this paper I will discover these answers. Deviance is any behavior that does not conform to the prevailing norms of a society.Deviance is the recognized violation of cultural norms .Deviance is measured by sociteis reaction , its is measured by societies life style ,only behavior that is defined unacceptable in a culture is deviant. Deviance violates some groups assumptions about reality. deviance violates social order. It violates expectations. Deviance is a label used to maintain the power, control, and position of a powerful individual or group.

Certain groups deviate from social norms because of both their raising and social pressures at the time while others conform for the exact same reason.Deviant people are subject to social control, or how members of a society try to influence each other's behavior. A more formal and multifaceted system of social control.

The Social Foundations of Deviance in my point of view are conformity and deviance are molded by society. first they exists only in relation to cultural norms, second people become deviant as others define them that way, and finally both norms and the way people define situations involve social power.

New knowledge in the field of genetics has focused on the study of biological causes of deviance. The connection between a specific pattern of chromosomes has been shown to be related to deviant behavior. Overall, research findings suggest genetic and social influences are significannot

in affecting the patterns of deviant behavior in society. Psychological explanations of deviance concentrate on individual abnormalities involving personality.

The Structural Functionist Perspective says that the sources of crime and deviance should be found in the structure of society.Functionalism says that Deviance it is normal and it is a necessary part of all societies.Also that everyone has all the same socially accepted goals but many many dont have the resources to get goals . Having no resources equals strain,and pressure which forces deviant behavior.Structural Strain Theory says that people are at different levels of income,and therefore all have different access to resources to achieve socially shared goals and who cannot

reach goal turn to deviance.

Choice theory can also help to explain deviances . Rational choice theory is a concept which says that if choices are given to society , society will make the right choice or the one that they benefit most from.With deviance if a choice is given the individual will weigh the options and take the immediate benefits over the consequences which will arise later down the road.

Interactive Perspective says that deviance
