How would I answer this question above given the information provided below?

In this essay, using a social category with which I identify, I will explain how that category, with a particular agent of socialization, has impacted my perception of formal and informal deviance. Then, choosing a different social category, I will explain how that difference might also change my perception of deviance through the same agent of socialization.

Formal deviance is defined as, "an act committed by a person or group of persons that contravenes (goes against) the established laws of society. (Keir) "An example of formal deviance includes burglary, murder and assault. On the contrary, informal deviance refers to "the fact that an individual (or group of individuals) may be slightly non-conformist to the general trend of society; however, his/her/their behavior does not constitute an illegal act."(Keir)For example, talking loudly, cheating in an exam etc.

As an Afro-Caribbean female who is here to study in the United States, my ethnicity has had an impact on the different agents of Socialization. According to the textbook, "agents of socialization, provides structured situations in which socialization takes place." (Kerry Ferris). One agent of socialization is Peers, which has impacted my perceptions of formal and informal deviance. The textbook states that, "Peer groups, while providing important and enjoyable social bonds, can also be the source of painful self-doubt, ridicule, or rejection. The need to "fit in" with a peer group may seem overwhelming to some young people." (Kerry Ferris) As someone who is coming from a different cultural background, I find it hard to partake in certain group activities, since they are informal deviance activities, which makes me feel as the odd person. They expect that since I am coming from a Caribbean Country they would think that is the norm for me but it is considered a formal deviance.

If I were to choose a different social category from the original, such as social class, my perception of formal and informal deviance might be different. As the textbook indicates, "A status is a position in a social hierarchy that comes with a set of expectations." (Kerry Ferris). With that being the case if I was born in America, I would've been given the opportunities to partake in group activities with my friends and not having to be worried about getting into trouble.

In conclusion, as a female international student, it may be presumed that I am to acknowledged, in terms of informal deviance, that I would come into more frequent contact informal activities, however this is not the case as these activities are considered to be a form of formal deviance. On the other hand, if I were in a different social status, my results in different perceptions of formal and informal deviance would change.
