Document Summary
Wa state is the least religious state in usa. Many studies on religion and environmental influence. Instead of asking who"s deviant, ask what behaviors are deviate. And ask why we want to control those behaviors. And how we do control it, intentionally & unintentionally. And how we would want to or think we should. Deviance: take into account what we think, but also what we say and how we act. Can be answered in a few ways: Devian is different from what most people do. Depends on population sample and sample size! Moral beliefs" are often taken from religion. Moral and religious views are treated equally in sociology. Ethics: also beliefs based on values; expression of norms. What they"re doing and why vs. how many of them are doing it/percentage. But nobody will really persecute you highly if broken. Most people will know if you break it, but usually nobody will say anything.
