- Summary
What is a deviation? Deviation is generally defined as any act that violates cultural norms. These deviations are largely divided into two types. The first is a violation of officially enacted laws such as crimes, and is called a tangible deviation. The second refers to a violation of informal social norms and norms not defined by law, and is called an informal deviation. This article presents various theories on this deviation. The theories related to deviation include labeling theory and conflict theory. It also presents statistics for these crimes. A large number of people does not necessarily mean that there are many criminals, and a small number of people does not mean that there are few criminals.
- Interesting point
Deviation is defined differently depending on the social situation. For example, there are countries where cannabis is legal, and there are countries where it is illegal, such as ours. It was interesting that deviations were defined differently according to such a cultural background. Also, the high incarceration rate in the United States was interesting. It was a different data statistic from the United States I think. The United States shown in the media seemed equal and enjoyable, but the reality was different. I can look at the world with a new perspective.
- Discussion
Deviation is defined differently depending on the culture. It may be a deviation in Korea, but it may not be a deviation in other countries. If we act in another country that is not a deviation from that country, but a deviation from our country, should we see it as a deviation?
I think that just like respect for culture, deviance should also be respected. I believe that the reason deviance varies from country to country is due to cultural differences. I don't think there is any reason why an act that is considered deviant in our country should not be done in another country. However, I think that engaging in behavior that is considered deviant in our country is also problematic. Since each country has different understandings of the situation, I think that should also be respected.
ReplyDeleteBecause there are variations between cultures, behavior may be considered a deviation from one culture to another, but not from another. Therefore, behavior that is considered a deviation from one culture does not mean that it is also considered a deviation from another. For example, in Korea, some behaviors may be considered socially inappropriate or a deviation from another, but in other cultures, they may not be seen as a deviation from one another. Therefore, doing something that is considered a deviation from Korea in another country does not necessarily mean that it should be viewed as a deviation. This is a part that requires cross-cultural understanding and respect. If a particular behavior is not considered a deviation from another culture, one should consider its perspective and values when evaluating it. Intercultural understanding and respect means respecting and accepting different values and practices.
ReplyDeleteI think that once you go to that country, you have to follow the laws of that country.
