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. Theories of Deviance

Tenny 3 Jackson Tenny Slavery Free Response Essay Slavery was an economic and social system that shaped both the black and white society in the United Sates from its origins in 1619 Jamestown to its abolition by the 13th Amendment in 1865. For two and a half centuries, slavery affected family life, social status, wealth and political power in the South. Men, women and children were affected by the ?peculiar institution? and the economics of ?King Cotton?, especially after the invention of the cotton gin. Life for everyone in the Antebellum (pre-civil war) South totally revolved around slavery.

Employment is a major contributor to wealth accumulation. ?We?ve seen a game change in blacks getting white collar jobs,? says Tom Shapiro, director of the Institute on Assets and Social Policy at the Heller School at Brandeis University. ?The African-American middle class is no longer coming out of a service industry serving only the black community,? he says. These advancements are underplayed. However, the wealth gap between whites and African-Americans has tripled since 1984. Shapiro?s research estimates the wealth gap for median white households compared to black households grew from $85,000 in 1984 to $236,500 in 2009.

Samuel Choi CHAPTER 5 OUTLINE: PUBLIC OPINION Introduction Abraham Lincoln described the government as ?of the people, by the people, and for the people?, but is it really true? The government does not always support what the people want. People want balanced budget, but the federal government is in debt People supported the Equal Rights Amendment, but it was not ratified Most people believe in a term limit for Senators and Representatives, but this has not been ratified. Such ?hypocrisy is present in the U.S. democracy. People believe that the government is democratic in name only also, but this is not completely true also. People can express their political rights: Can vote for President, Senate, and House of Representatives.
