Deviance And Marx: An Unequal System

“Deviance in sociological context describes actions or behaviors that violate cultural norms including formally-enacted rules (e.g., crime) as well as informal violations of social norms.”

Deviance is an act that goes against the social norms such as rules or expectations. It can be something small such as running through the stop signs or it can be something big such as hijacking an airplane. Deciding if the act is deviant or not depends on the context (society, environment, etc.). According to Howard S. Becker, it is not the act itself, but the reactions to the act that, makes something deviant. Deviance is not a word that is used for judging people, but it is used to refer to an act to which people respond negatively. Norms vary among different cultural groups, therefore, one deviant act in one group might not be deviant to another. For example, it will be considered deviant or going against the norm if someone decided to

Deviance is defined as an action or behavior that violates social norms. Norms are social expectations that guide our everyday behaviors.

Assignment 2 The social construction of deviance is defined by how an individual or group breaks a society’s cultural norms and values. Deviance occurs by certain behaviors of a culture that goes against the everyday behavior of a specific sect of society. A specific example of this is the women rights movement during the late 1800’s and ending in the 1920’s. Women who wanted to work or have the same rights as men were seen as deviant because women were meant to be housewives. Women’s right activists argued that women are equal to men.

Capitalism is an unnatural perversion of society in Marx and Engel’s The Communist Manifesto. It is constantly consumptive, unable to exist without further expansion. It warps society through its exploitation of labor and the class that provides it. The Communist Manifesto goes beyond just a sociopolitical critique of capitalism, and adds otherworldly, almost Gothic elements. Repeated supernatural, fantastical language reinforces the idea that capitalism is an illegitimate twist of the natural state of human affairs.

According the David Marx (2007), A “Just Culture” is an open and fair environment that creates a learning culture.

This essay will consider whether or not the ideas of deviance have changed over time and if deviance has changed over time whether it is reflected in the law, a common mistake made by a lot of people is that all deviant acts are criminal this is not the case. All criminal acts are deviant but not all deviant acts are criminal. Deviance is a behaviour of a person that differs from the social normality of society (TheFreeDictionary.com, 2003-2015) this can be as simple as antisocial behaviour such as smoking, or it can be a criminal act such as arson. There are two parts of deviance first there is Primary deviance which includes a variety of social groups it doesn’t have many consequences concerning social roles.

A famous quote of Karl Marx says: “The Rich will do anything for the poor, but get off their backs.” This saying indicates the power imbalance between the rich and the poor, as the rich have the freedom to do whatever they want to the poor, while the poor can do nothing about it. This is an example of Marxism because there are power struggles between the rich and the poor.. Marxism is a well-known theory, originating from the mid 19th century by Karl Marx, and it is used to reveal historical content, power imbalances, and political beliefs. In other words.

The extra credit assignment I chose to talk about was the Informal and Formal deviance talked about in Dalton Conley’s book “You may ask yourself”. According to Conley, there are two forms of deviance, formal and informal. The informal aspect is one where there is no law being broken but more along the lines of breaking a social norm. The second form of deviance is formal and this is where a law is broken and you will be punished accordingly (Conley, D. 2017. P. 191).

Deviance is the behavior and the standards of expectations of a group or society. It is also behavior that is considered dangerous, threatening or offensive. The people that are deviant are often labeled to be weirdos, oddballs, or creeps. In the United States, people with tattoos, drug addicts, alcoholics, and compulsive gamblers are all considered deviant. Sociologists believe that everybody is deviant from time to time. They believe each person will violate a social norm in certain situations. People are considered deviant if they don't stand for the national anthem at a sports event, dress casually to a fancy restaurant, or skip classes. One category of deviance is Crime.
