week 12

This week in sociology we learned about Deviance and how they differ form what we know in are usual social norms.We looked at an article a group of students in the 70's called the Saints.They where a group of eight male white middle class students. Many people had said in the article  referring to the boys saying how great students they where and popular in the community.But They also violated some aspects of their school's society.Like how they would ditch classes and and go to the pool hall but the teachers did not notice it.But there was another group in the school the Roughnecks that were not the greatest students to be at the school but they did the same types of things the saints did but they usually got caught.So they both violated the norm but it mainly only effected one group .

Some times I perform  a deviance but mostly in a positive way.eating during class.Some people don't like that because the people seem distracted.But I share so people don't have to miss out .I only east in class if we are watching a movie so I don't get side track during note taking.So if done in a non disrupted and positive manner, you can do deviance that are not violent or rude.
