I’ve been learning about a behavior that violates significant social norms which are called deviance. It is being used for social life, so it can help clarify norms, unify the group, diffuse tension, and promote change throughout society. During my observation about deviance occurring, I have noticed some deviant behaviors that are happening, as in people behaving really disrespectful, loud, rude, and dishonest with others.

Deviant acts can vary by time, place, content, and person
each culture or society has unique norms that are acceptable to that group of people. Therefore, to establish and come to the acceptance of these basic norms, each society must develop its’ own strategies and techniques to encourage the fundamentals of behavior, which is clear in our modern society. Most do assume that everyone in a society will follow and respect such norms. However, some tend to deviate from the adequate norms and demonstrate deviant behavior. Nevertheless, we are inclined to ask

It is ranging from murder to shoplifting. However, it depends how it serious and breaking the social law. There are more debates about what is considered to be deviant behavior or what is not. For example, if young man drinks in a party while rest of the people are not drinking he might violate the norm. So,
In sociology, term deviant behavior is any behavior that violates social norms. Relations impart norms that are manners, expectation, and rules.
