Deviance
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. To stray from the norm is to deviate from socially acceptable behavior; when one is deviant, he goes against the very essence of what society has deemed acceptable. One of the easiest things in life is to deviate from what is considered by the masses to be normal; in fact, Morpheus points out that it is often considerably more difficult to remain upon a straight and narrow path with the myriad obstacles that appear in daily life. It can readily be argued that deviant behavior has found its niche within contemporary society, even to the point of infiltrating what is considered to be a standard of normalcy. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Deviance and Society: Different Interpretations for Different Contexts
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the labeling theory of deviance, the tendency of society to place labels on individuals on the basis of them not belonging to the group doing the labeling. Ties together the self-fulfilling prophesy of Thomas Merton, the interactionist perspective of E. Goffman, the theories of H.S. Becker that social groups create deviance by making the rules whose infraction constitutes deviance, and the philosophies of Emile Durkheim that extreme economic variation results in deviance labeling. Equates these theories to power differentials in which gender, class, ethnicity, and economics all play a role in perpetuating deviance. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Deviance in "American History X"

As that activity becomes more common, people come to be more accustomed to it and less troubled by it. The most troubling deviance may not be that which drives the skinheads, but rather that which allows the movement to grow by adding greater numbers. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
