Discussion Post
As you have learned from the learning resources (UMGC, n.d.), deviant behaviors are violations of social norms, and what is "deviant" is defined variously across time and place. Our resources for this week offer a variety of sociological theories for why deviance occurs in society. Your main post for this discussion should have two parts:
• Part I: Identify something that people do that would be considered a violation of social norms. Briefly discuss this action. Who regards this action as deviant and why?
• Part II: Explain why this type of deviance occurs and/or how society responds to this form of deviance, according to one of the theories in the chapter. As part of your explanation, make sure to also briefly explain the theory.
The response must include a reference list. One-inch margins, double-space, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
