Document Summary
In this sense, social order is said to feed off social deviance, as the judge and. Durkheim: searching for the moral integration of social organisms: It represented a determining condition (i. e. ) that is needed for the continued existence of society. Socrates: although socrates was condemned as a deviant thinker in his own day, his ideas later came to constitute a new basis of conformity, ex. Martin luther king jr: exemplifies the deviant as an innovator, clearly deviated from the social boundaries established by racist and segregated society, deliberately broke the laws which he morally objected, laws the subordinated blacks to whites. Boundaries: tension reduction function, deviant may also be useful by functioning as a safety valve for strains within society itself, society sometimes projects its own problems onto the shoulders of some deviant group, ex. Minorities, may be blamed for the tensions produced by society as a whole: by scapegoating its own problems on witches, jews, blacks etc.
