Christian Boujaoude September 18, 2014 Pd. 9 Kroposky Walking Dead Questions 1. Being an individual means being fully alive and mentally stable, making rational decisions. It means have every lobe in your brain at fully capacity. It means caring for other people and not just surviving. 2. In the Walking Dead, individualism is pervasive in the American culture because there are many instances where characters make decisions based on their individual needs rather than compromising and working with the group. Being selfish would be an example of individualism, because the group is not in the person?s mind.

Chapter 6 Deviance Defining Deviance Deviance is a behavior, trait, belief, or other characteristic that violates a norm and causes a negative reaction in a group. The definition of deviance varies widely across cultures, time, and situations. Deviance across Cultures It is important to remember that when sociologists use the term "deviant," they are making a social judgment, never a moral one. If a particular behavior is considered deviant, it means that it violates the values and norms or a particular group, not that it is inherently wrong. Much of the literature on deviance focuses on crime and how different cultures define very different behaviors as criminal or not and the vast differences seen in how crimes are punished.

While most people do conform to the expected norms of their society, occasionally they may violate a norm, and depending on its importance and on the severity of the violation, the violator may or may not be seen as deviant. Deviance is defined as the violation of social norms, which then evokes negative reactions from others; important to consider the social control mechanisms that keep most people from becoming deviant. If the government imposes severe formal penalties then the deviant behavior becomes a crime. ? Deviance is socially constructed meaning that members of groups in societies define what is deviant (tattoos and piercings). Some acts are deviant at one time and place and not at others (stem cell research)
