Question 1

When does difference become deviance? Use Kiara's story to explain these two terms and the connection between them.

Accepted Answer

Difference becomes deviance when it is perceived as a violation of societal norms or expectations. In other words, when a person's behavior, beliefs, or characteristics are seen as outside the accepted standards of a particular group or society, they are labeled as deviant.

Kiara's story can help illustrate the connection between difference and deviance. Kiara grew up in a conservative community where traditional gender roles were strictly adhered to. However, Kiara never felt comfortable conforming to these roles and instead expressed herself in a way that was considered unconventional by her community. As a result, she was often ostracized and labeled as deviant because of her differences.

In Kiara's case, her difference in gender expression became deviance when it was perceived as a threat to the established norms of her community. Her non-conformity to traditional gender roles led to her being stigmatized and marginalized, highlighting the connection between difference and deviance.

This example shows that the perception of difference as deviance is often a result of societal norms and expectations, and can lead to discrimination and exclusion of individuals who do not fit into these norms. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding and accepting diversity in order to create a more inclusive and equitable society.
