W9. Introduction to Sociology / Deviance
Summary
Deviation refers to the act of violating cultural norms. Violating the law is usually called an official deviation, and the act of violating informal social norms is called an informal deviation. Deviation can vary considerably depending on culture.
Deviations defined by sociologists have many forms.
Merton suggested a type of deviant behavior. According to him, the type of deviation is presented based on two criteria. The first condition is the adherence to personal motivation or cultural goals. The second condition is the individual's belief in how to achieve the goal. By selecting these conditions as Yes or No, there are four types and one additional type. The four types appear to be suitability, innovation, realism, and retro. One additional type is "rebellion," which refers to an individual rejecting both cultural goals and means of achievement, replacing or creating new means and goals.
Structural functionalism argues that deviant behavior plays an important role in society. This is because deviant behavior can promote social integration and be a way for society to change.
Conflict theory is an example of how deviance reflects the imbalance of power, reporting and tracking of crime.
In reality, the theory argues, it only reports on poverty and the deviant behavior of the poor, but does not report crimes by people with white collar jobs, the social gentry, and billions of dollars in losses from corporate crimes.
The labeling theory believes that deviation occurs when two conditions are met, the first condition is when inappropriate or abnormal stigma is applied to an individual, the second condition is when they accept the stigma by directly expressing the behavior and attitude associated with the stigma.
Social control is necessary to prevent deviation, and social control is necessary.
Social control refers to various means that society uses to return its members to meet cultural norms. There are two general types of social control.
Formal social control refers to a component of society designed for the socialization of individuals who violate formal rules. For example, a prison where a guilty person goes for a re-socialization process or a mental hospital for the mentally deranged.
Informal social control refers to social elements designed to strengthen informal cultural norms.
This includes parents' caution against picking their noses, or parents' warning against children running around in public places.
Interesting point
labeling theory was interesting. This is because I have once caused deviant behavior due to resistance to something with unfair stigma stamped on him.
Debate
It is often said that people who work suddenly deviate when they go on vacation. Is it a deviation?

In my opinion, it is a kind of figurative expression, rather than a deviation from the sociological concept, that Koreans call a break from their weary daily lives a "breakaway." I feel sorry that such self-mocking expression of the unspoken pressure that one should not rest without work even if one is going to take a vacation through official procedures suggests that Korean society is in a state of excessive fatigue.
