 1. Summary

Deviation refers to behaviors that violate culturally established norms. It is divided into formal crimes and informal violations of norms. The structural functionalism approach argues that deviations play an important role in society. It plays a role in maintaining social balance, distinguishing between acceptable and non-acceptable behaviors, and promoting social integration. The stigma theory argues that deviations occur through stigma. These stigma shapes an individual's identity and can lead to deviant behavior.


2. Mention of any new, interesting

One of the reasons why crime statistics are interesting is that they show the gap between social perception and reality. Since many people get their perception of crime from the media, their perception may differ from the real situation. These crime statistics help prevent crime by understanding crime patterns and trends and optimally allocating the resources of law enforcement agencies. As above, effective responses to problems should be made through efficient use of crime statistics.


3. Discussion

What are some other examples of things that were negatively branded, like tattoos, but changed their perception over time?

    Hair coloring may have once been seen as rebellious or misogynistic in some cultures, but it has now become a universally accepted form of fashion and expression of individuality.

    I think smoking has changed my perception like tattoos over time. At first, smoking was considered a personal choice, but I think it was gradually perceived as a negative behavior as research showed that it was not healthy.

    In the past, gay marriage was not socially accepted, and it was not legally allowed in most countries. However, over time, the perception of gay marriage is changing drastically, and it is becoming legal in many countries.

 1. Summary Arnett described the goal of socialization as follows. 1. Impulse control and development of conscience. 2. Preparing and performing roles, including professional roles, gender roles, and roles in institutions such as marriage and parental roles. 3. The source of meaning, the cultivation of what is important, valuable, and to live. Socialization is the process of preparing humans to function in social life. Socialization is relative to culture and does not force evaluation judgments. Since socialization is the adoption of culture, it differs from culture to culture and from subculture to culture. It should be noted that socialization is a key sociological process in the development of individuals who can function in human society, but not all aspects of human behavior are learned. Socialization is generally divided into two parts. Primary socialization occurs early in life in childhood and adolescence. Secondary socialization refers to socialization that occurs througho...

W12.1 Blog for reading materials

1.Summary Goffman's dramaturgical theory has been applied to various social phenomena, including social movements, online identity construction, and theatrical performances. 2.Discussion The pursuit of essence is human beings' superficial understanding of things, and the pursuit of differences is human beings' deep understanding of things. Essence can be applied and labeled. It is a superficial understanding of things and is the process of people's understanding of the world. Lazy means. It is believed that as long as you master the essence of things, you have mastered everything about them, that is, you can transform cognition into action. Therefore, I believe that constructing essence is the first step to understand things, and constructing differences is the most important thing to understand things. People should construct their understanding of differences by constructing essence. Whether it is playing games, reading novels, getting drunk, or skydiving, all kinds o...
