Question 2

Based on what you have learned in this course,has your opinion of who/what is "deviant" changed or remained the same? Explain your answer.

Accepted Answer

My opinion of who/what is "deviant" has changed after taking this course. I used to believe that deviance was solely based on individual behavior that goes against societal norms. However, after learning about the social construction of deviance and how it is influenced by power dynamics, I now understand that deviance is not solely determined by individual actions, but also by the labels and reactions imposed by those in positions of power.

I have also learned about the importance of considering cultural and historical contexts when defining deviance, which has led me to question my previous assumptions about what is considered deviant. I now recognize that what is considered deviant can vary greatly across different cultures and time periods, and that it is not a fixed or objective concept.

Overall, my opinion of who/what is "deviant" has evolved to be more nuanced and contextual, taking into account the complexities of social norms, power dynamics, and cultural influences.
