Assumptions about deviance
|
-Humans are not inherently meaningful cz meaning comes from interactions
-Objects cannot interract with eachother and ,', cannot justify how they feel about a label (Cannot agree, resist or negotiate) BUT people can! -Human's are objects of their own awareness (I'm not a child molester. I love kids!) -Humans can be objects unto themselves because they can take the roles of others -Being defined as deviant can be significant to the indevidual because can alter how one feels about self, and change relationships -Deviance comes into being when there is a societal rxn. It doesn't exist until DEFINED, IDENTIFIED OR RXNed to |

-Which sociologists were all working on a similar project that had to do with labelling in the early 60s? --What did they propose?
-What was deviance before? |
-Kitsuse, Becker and Erikson
-Deviance as a societal reaction -OBJECTIVIST to SUBJECTIVIST understandings |
|
“[D]eviance is not a quality of the act a
person commits, but rather a consequence
of the application by others of rules and
sanctions to an ‘offender.’ The deviant is one
to whom that label has successfully been
applied; deviant behaviour is behaviour that
people so label.”

Erikson's Sociology of Deviance:
What are the 2 parts of the article? Who's theory does Kai Erikson's theory attack? Key ideas in Erikson's theory? |
-Reaction and Functions
-Merton's Strain theory (too much about how ppl react to strain. What about those who aren't reacted to?) -Master status, relativity and functions of deviance |
|
When analyzing Kai Erikson's key ideas in his Sociology of deviance study, how can we expand on them?
|
-Master status: Doesn't matter if person does deviant things everyday or some of the time. Once society labels them, they are seen as a full-time deviant
-Relativity: Not all are labelled deviant for the same act. Society says when something is too extreme according to their norms (I think Tadic is an alcoholic, Tino begs to differ) -Functions of deviance: deviance bountries are set in society (norms, mores, folkways, laws). Deviance creates stability in a community |

-How does one define deviant behaviour? and How does society react to deviance?
-Process in which persons come to be knoen and befines as deviant by others -Interview 700 homosexuals...Most labelled by society...homosexuality is wrong cz that's what society says -Societal reaction (RETROSPECTIVE INTERPRETATION...ah! This all makes sense now! In the 2nd grade Mrs. Nixon wanted to know why I got so many bandaids) |
