Student post-

Question 1: After asking the same question to some of my friends that Simmons asked in 1965, "List those things or types of persons whom you regard as deviant" I found that a few of the answers he got are similar to the answers I got. I also noticed that some answers did not pop up in my study. For example, none of my friends answered that homosexuals are deviant. I feel like this is mainly because compared to 1965, homosexuality is much more accepted and commonly talked about in 2025. Some answers that stayed the same were drug addicts, alcoholics, and all the answers relating to criminal behavior such as murderers and rapists. I believe the biggest generational difference compared to Simmons chart and mine was the fact that homosexuals and lesbians were on the list of things considered deviant. I sometimes ask my mom who was born in the 80's what's different about how people view homosexuality now compared to when she was in school and she always told me people who were openly gay back then were bullied and isolated from everyone else. In some areas this type of mistreatment still occurs, but I'd say being openly gay in 2025 is way more accepted than it was in the 80's.

Question 2: Over the past 24 hours I was exposed to lots of deviance, most of which did not happen to me first hand, but happened to people I know or saw on the internet. One of my friends recently went to a party where I would have to guess the people drinking were under the age of 21, but hey, I won't snitch. I would consider this deviant because it is illegal to drink alcohol under the age of 21, so it's deemed deviant by law. I also suppose I am also involved in deviant behavior for knowing and not telling that this was happening, but I'd argue that this form of deviance would be positive deviance; doing something with the best intentions, but causing a lot of harm to people. I could go on, but looking back on it I am shocked at how many examples of deviance I can pull from just this past 24 hours.

Question 3: I imagined myself going through my regular day completely deaf. I most definitely would end up sleeping past my alarm, but I do feel that I could go through my whole morning routine without having to rely on sound just because I have had the same routine for a long time. My only struggle so far would be responding to text messages on my phone in a timely manner since I wouldn't be able to hear the ring. It would also be a struggle having to deal with any phone calls since I wouldn't be able to hear anything, so I would only be limited to having to text people. I'd say the biggest obstacle in my day would be work. I work in an after school program with kids and for that job you NEED to be able to hear what's going on or else a kid could get hurt or you could miss some important information about why a kid might be upset or may be acting differently.

Question 4: I'd say that type of relationship in sister wives can be considered deviant using the normative conception of deviance since the "norm" of a marriage is just two people, but I personally could care less about the relationship. I am a strong believer in the saying, if it doesn't involve you don't worry about it. As long as they are happy and they are all consenting adults I say go for it!

Main Takeaways: This chapter for me made me realize the complexity of deviance. In the first chapter it discussed the different types of deviance, but in this chapter is heavily focused on different situations where deviance can be found as well as examples of things that are seen as deviant. One thing that really stuck out to me was when they discussed self-injury, specifically when it came to excessive body modifications. They talked about how some people tattoo their entire body which is a violation of a social norm, at least in the United States. Typically it's seen as taboo to tattoo one's entire body since a majority of people only have a few tattoos or none at all. Tattooing your entire body is therefore deviant since it challenges the social norm of showing at least some skin. There was one last thing that stuck out to me and it was the deviance in cyberspace. It stuck out to me because I have personally been deviant online by illegally streaming sporting events instead of paying for them. This is considered deviant by law.

Article Summary: The first article discussing online dating by Jennifer Lundquist and Celeste Curington was a very interesting read. It definitely had tones of the critical conception of deviance because I felt like the article was questioning the fact that college students using dating apps to hookup is considered a norm. The article did touch on how older people who use dating apps use it more commonly for things other than just hooking up, but the article also explained that these people only make up a small percentage of users on most dating apps. College students actively enrolled and on campus are the most popular population on dating apps. The article explained that dating apps were originally meant for people in their 20's and 30's after college, so dating apps had to change what demographic they were targeting mainly. It's also important to mention that just because college students were the most popular demographic on dating apps it doesn't mean that ALL college students are on them. The article also dived into how some students abstain from dating app culture as they see it as unnatural.

The second article discusses how businesses commit acts of deviance, written by: Albert Bandura, Gian-Vittorio Caprara, and Laszlo Zsolnai. This article was very hard for me to read because a lot of the business buzzwords went right over my head, but what I got from it is that large businesses and corporations will commit deviant acts in order to save themselves money. The article talks about how they use things such as moral justification, displacement of responsibility, and dehumanization to justify their deviant behavior. I personally found the most intriguing part of the article to be the Ford Pinto scandal where Ford knowingly sold a car with an inefficiency that led to the death of about 500 people.
