Trayvon Martin And The Lawsuit Against Paula Deen

The Witch Hunt was based on false accusations and reputations made on certain people causing a series of harmful events. My article is the “Trayvon Martin Case: Is young, black and wearing a hoodie a recipe for disaster?” from the U.S. News. The Trayvon Martin Case occurred several years ago. Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old boy who got shot by a community crime-watch volunteer in Florida (“Trayvon Martin Case: Is young, black and wearing a hoodie a recipe for disaster?”).

Deviant acts take many different forms often depending on the person committing the act, the people who witness it, the setting of the act, and the circumstances surrounding it, among many other factors. There are many approaches that people in order to convince themselves that they are not deviant. In the same sense, there are many ways that criminals escape being labeled deviant by others. Chambliss (1972) follows two groups of high school boys, the Saints and the Roughnecks. Both groups are involved in very deviant acts, although the Saints tend to avoid most trouble and are not viewed poorly by the community while the Roughnecks are constantly in trouble and have developed a poor image of themselves within the community.

In the weeks after the hate crime, the kidnapping and murder trial of Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam began. At the time, blacks and women were rejected from serving jury duty, the two men were tried before an all-white male jury (The Murder of Emmett Till.). Despite the overwhelming amounts of evidence and witness reports, the panel of jurors acquitted Bryant and Milam of all charges after a little over an hour of deliberation. Emmett Till’s murder had then become a source of total outrage across the country. Instead of murdering a young boy, who had his entire future ahead of him, the individuals involved could have easily called authorities and had the right amount of justice be served.

When we look at specific characters such as Kevin, the radio host for the sister town of Night Vale, Desert Bluffs, we see that his deviance is more based on immoral behaviors, but we also see that Kevin's character faces another stigma just through his appearance. For example when he smiles other characters such as Cecil react in ways such as "He must be wicked, this man" (Fink and Cranor 190). Another instance where Kevin's smile is seen as deviant is towards the climax of the series where he smiles and in reaction Cecil says "You monster" and Steve Carlsberg says "That was really gross . . ." (Fink and Cranor 262). In other instances we see deviance as a norm violation when looking at Steve Carlsberg in episode 53: September Monologues.

“You can’t judge a book by it’s cover” is a quote that literally everyone has heard since before kindergarten. It basically means that you can’t judge a person based on what they look like. In the show, 12 Angry Jurors, there are 12 Jurors deciding the fate of a 19-year-old guy who may or may not have stabbed his father. Will he live, or be killed? Each juror has their own opinion on if the guy killed his father.

Film Analysis On Big Hero Six The movie i chose to do a social analysis on was Big Hero Six written by Duncan Rouleau, and Steven T. Seagle. I am going to talk about how Big Hero six is based mostly on Deviance, Strain theory, Culture, Groups, and Micro Level.

Many people may believe that the word deviance focuses mainly on aggressive behavior; however, you could demonstrate deviance passively as well. For instance, there are many conceptions of deviance. The two broad terms that make up deviance would be positive and negative deviance. Positive deviance is behavior that is outside of a norm but can be viewed as behavior that over-conforms to norms. An example of positive deviance is wearing to much makeup.

In sociology, deviance describes an action or behavior that violates social norms, but is disapproved by large numbers of people. In the 1940’s American sociologist Robert K. Merton came up with his strain theory. This was and still is an important contribution to the study of crime and deviance. Back in the day when he first released his theory it helped to explain why crime existed in countries, such as America, these countries were going through increasing economic growth and wealth.

According to the Henslin (2014), deviance is the violation of norms, rules or expectations. In Sociology the perception that others have about the act is what makes something deviant. In June, 2015 two women engaged in a physical altercation in the aisle of a Walmart store. This altercation included the six year old son of one of the women. The incident started with a verbal disagreement between a woman driving a scooter and a Walmart employee.

Deviant behavior is essentially anything that conflicts with the social norms that have been already established by a society. Examples of deviant behavior can range from parking in a handicapped spot when you are not handicapped to committing the act of murder. Most deviant behavior is considered to be routine and institutionalized. This type of deviant behavior we have been accustomed to and now have grown to not be as shocked when we hear about it. For instance, if you live in a bigger city such as Atlanta or Nashville, upon reading the newspaper or watching your local news station you may hear of another murder taking place and not even bat an eye.
