Document Summary
Deviance is the footside of conformity implies a departure from conformity/order. To have rules, there has to be the potential to deviate from them- rules exist to order our behaviour differently than it would be if there were no controls on us. Class, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, different mental and physical abilities can help someone participate in the difference between conformity and deviance. In new orleans, all the hurricanes happening cnn shows picture of black man as a looter, and white people as survivors even though they are doing the same thing. You fall in categories and those categories impact your life. Hobbes: humans = evil and are prone to be at war with each other. The only way that we won"t annihilate each other is to put rules in order: rules to preserve social order. Rousseau: humans good in natural state before society develops. We are all trying to survive and we try to help each other.
