Deviance is all around us. It can be as simple as cutting in line to acts of violence. After reading Chapter 6, think of an act or instance of deviance in current events

TO DO

• Define      deviance using our textbook.
• Briefly      describe a deviant act covered in the news– current or historic (such as      an odd disturbance, a crime, protest, etc.). 
  • Which       social norm(s) did the act break?
  • Was       a law(s) broken?
  • Did       the act bring about a change in the expected behavior (may be challenge       any existing laws)? Or, did the act and the response to it reinforce       these existing sanctions?
