Deviant Act Essay Examples

Recently in class I have begun to do some research on deviant acts. A deviant act is an action that is against the norm of whats acceptable to a society. Without noticing, acts of deviance happens all around us every day; whether it is someone who is dressed differently than what you 're used to, the language someone uses in a certain setting, or even the music someone listens to in a general atmosphere.

His reaction this time through was outside of the norm and gave me the deviance act I was looking for in return. My father sat me down and told me how much he cherished every minute that he got to spend with me and that no matter how “hard” we act towards each other that he would do anything in this world to better

This theory assumes that people look for the good and bad consequences before they make a final decision to do something. This theory is often used with crimes and has many concepts as to how one studies a situation before making a move. In my case there was no crime to be committed, but this theory still happens to fit right in because I knew that men in my family don 't really share feelings towards one another with each other. So I had to step back and revise the situation before I went ahead and went through with writing this letter and reading it to my
