Forms Of Deviance And Mental Illness

For example episode 11 when a guy named Jason Robert physically attacks a girl named Megan in front of an audience , he behavior is considered deviance because he harms another person. Attacking another person and stalking is prime example that he is different from most people. Another example is episode season 15 episode 10 when detective Benson attacked and kidnapped by a murder. This broke into her apartment and held her captive for four days where he would tie her up and make her watch as he did unspeakable things to another. His behavior would be considered as deviance because what he does is unsocial and it violates what is considered normal in today’s society.

2.) Deviance – Deviance is the idea of an action of event that goes against the morals / ideals of the culture or society that the event occurs within. 3.) Snitch – Someone who tells authorities about illegal activities perpetrated by those within their peer group. C.)

After reading these articles I garnered a greater insight on what deviance is and how it is formed. According to the Outsiders reading, deviance is essentially a label that is put on a person of whom commits an act or exhibits behaviors that stray from what is normal or expected. These people are therefore also labeled as “outsiders”. Outsiders in that they are seen as those who are to be placed outside of a certain group do to their deviant behaviors. There exist many views of deviance.

A perfect example of deviance would be when Derek was incarcerated he witness some of the guys from his brother hood were making drug deals with the Mexicans. By Derek’s standards and his outside group they were not allowed to interact with anybody but their own race. When Derek disrespected his brotherhood during recreation time by sitting alone, the group members saw that as deviant which is why he was then raped by them to teach him a lesson and put him back in line. A second example of deviance was when Derek was released from prison he wanted to end his life with the group and start a new life. But his group saw him as a god because he murdered two black people when he told his group members they called him a traitor and a nigger lover.

Deviance Sociologists general defines deviance as “an action that is perceived as violating a society’s or groups cultural norm”. Deviance can be perceived in many different ways. Vegetarians and Muslims are both groups that do not consume meat. Although these groups are not breaking the law. Their behavior is different than what is accepted to be normal.

Deviance is described as a violation of culture norms. In Jonestown as a Perverse Utopian they described it as a cult. There are cults all round the world however, it is not a norm to be in on or know of one personally. On December 8th, due to their utopian cult there was a mass suicide of 911 people. The leader believed that for many years the “followers needed” to be poisoned with opium and then cyanide.

Deviance can be defined as behavior that violates social expectations and norms. Deviance can be something small like dressing like a hippy or in gothic clothing, or something big like robbing a bank. Each society has laws and rules to keep one from committing deviant acts. Colin Kaepernick is going against NFL policies, going against his duty as an American citizen, and finally, he is disrespecting the men and women who fought and died for this country. I believe Colin Kaepernick is being deviant when kneeling to the flag.

Deviance does not necessarily mean one commits a crime. It is in connection with the infraction of some universally agreed laws (Becker 1963). Not all forms of deviance are called crimes, however, we could call all crimes as deviant forms of behaviour. For instance murdering someone is a

Race, neurotype (such as ADHD), sex, gender identity, sexuality, class, religious beliefs and spirituality, age, familial relationships and community support, language and communication, and American society’s beliefs and representation about mental illness and social stigma all affect the way that mental illness is dealt with and gets in the way for better care and treatment of mental illness in the country.

Introduction Deviance is mostly about singling a single individual, and figuring out why they are different. A more in depth study would involve groups of deviant people, and why they decide to disassociate. An even deeper study would be looking into what attitudes, behaviors, and conditions certain groups have. What makes studying this so hard is that most deviant groups don’t openly tell the public what they want. Some groups only let people into their inner circles unless they closely resemble their own thoughts.

You can wear a block of cheese on your head, paint your face various colors, get tattooed all over your body. These are deviant acts. I believe everyone is deviant in at least one aspect of their lives, the norms that a society forms are what the average common behavior is for that society so it's going to be somewhere in the middle of how people behave.  

Deviance is any behavior that violates social norms and is usually of sufficient severity to warrant disapproval from the majority of society. Deviance can be criminal or noncriminal. Media helps us frame the way we think, act, and choose. Children have growing brains

According to Hunt and Colandar (2011), a word deviant refers to when an individual’s actions contradict with society’s norms. For instance, majority peoples followed norms because society expect individual to behave in morally tolerate with each other. Those failing to conform the norms noted as deviant. In a social context, the task of the society is to blind the action of the social community together. Once failing to act them to the society’s reaction that seem as deviant.

Positive deviance is those extraordinary behaviors which has an impact on social change in any community. There are some people who always follow a different way in any situation. They break the conventional way, with their uncommon behavior they find a better strategy. In an approach positive deviance is a behavioral approach towards any situation in another approach positive deviance is focusing on the success. Positive deviance describe those behaviors which is exemplary for other individuals or any community.

Norms change from one society to another. Some actions or behaviours are accepted in sports but may become deviance in society and vice versa. Deviance is a violation of social norms depending on the time, place and social context. Sociologists use deviance to refer to any act to which people respond negatively. From today’s lesson, I have learnt that there are two types of deviance which are positive and negative deviance.
