  • Durkheim argued that deviance, especially extreme forms are functional in that they challenge and offend the established norms in the larger collective conscience.
  • deviance reaffirms norms when the deviants are punished;
  • promotes solidarit
  • clear contrasting point of comparison
  • stimulates social change.
  • Extreme deviance does make us consider “normal” behavior on the personal and larger social level.
  • But, what if this distribution was not an indicat8ion of test scores, but rather the frequency of times potential roommates stole food from the private stashes of previous roommates? You’d clearly want a score closer to 0 than 80.
  • National studies indicate that less than 5 percent of the United States population considers itself to be exclusively homosexual.
  • s homosexuality deviant or normal?”
  • “Does that make it more or less common and therefore more or less deviant?” I ask.

      Think about the relationship of these two ideas: common (so mean) and normal (so deviant).
  • actor violates group norms but complies with the law, it is deviance.
  • how can something be deviant and normal at the same time?”
  • We rarely have total agreement on what’s normal
  • ethnocentrism tends to burn cross-cultural bridges
  • across time; across cultures, and from group to group.
  • shifting values.
  • Deviance varies between cultures because values vary between cultures.
  • ontributed to higher or lower levels of trust over time.
  • The point of this story is that in most social groups a beat down would be considered deviant. In a gang it’s very much normal. Yet, in this situation, not beating him down was deviant within his gang, yet a wise choice.
  • Absolutist Perspective claims that deviance resides in the very nature of an act and is wrong at all times and in all places.
  • Normative Perspective claims that deviance is only a violation of a specific group's or society's rules at a specific point in time
  • Reactive Perspective claims that behavior does not become deviant unless it is disapproved of by those in authority (laws

  • Conformity
  • “random act of senseless kindness”
  • legal and normal

  • As mentioned, deviants and criminals make us reassess our values and make new rules and laws
  • crime is often found in every society
  • iolates norms and breaks the law, then it’s Deviant and Criminal behavior
  • Power Elite are the political, corporate, and military leaders of a society are uniquely positioned to commit Elite Crimes, or crimes of insider nature that typically are difficult to punish and have broad social consequences upon the masses.
  • issues of power and powerlessness. It’s about who has the power and how they attempt to force their values and rules upon those who don’t have it.
  • remember that Anomie is a state of social normlessness which occurs when our lives or society has vague norms)
  • disproportionately high level of non-whites who ended up among the 2006 1,570,861 incarcerated members of society
  • Labeling Theory claims
  • majority of US prisoners have been in prison before (perhaps 60-80%

  • Street Crimes are crimes
  • Organized Crime
  • Hate Crimes
  • Norm is a set of expected behaviors for a given role and social status.
    • Daryl Bambic
       
      Do you agree with this definition?  Can you see what the consequences of this might be?
    • jonah-e
       
      yes. and the consequences might be that since you always excpect the excpected you will never excpect the unexcpected. 
  • Look at the diagram below.
  • Is a mean of 80 good or desirable?
    • Daryl Bambic
       
      Think of 80, or the mean, as the norm.  When you think of it this way, is it desirable?
  • That depends on what these scores represent.
  • Values also vary between groups
  • An absolutists would probably fall among the 1 in 4 who feel that abortion is always wrong, because it is an unacceptable act. A normative individual would consider the circumstances (rape, incest, diagnoses, or health of mother) while a reactive would consider the legality of abortion.
  • In every society when deviance is considered it is most often controlled.
  • Control is easier if attachments, commitment, involvement, and beliefs are stronger.
    • Daryl Bambic
       
      The absence of this is called 'anomie' and signals the breakdown of a society. Sociologists would call this the loss of social cohesion.  
  • Attachments
  • Commitment
  • Involvement
  • Belief
    • Daryl Bambic
       
      Think of these four factors that favor control of deviance in terms of your school.  How does each one of these manifest itself in school life?  Are they effective in reducing deviant behaviour?
  • Negative Sanctions are punishments or negative reactions toward deviance. Positive Sanctions are rewards for conforming behavior
    • Daryl Bambic
       
      What type of sanctions, both positive and negative, do we see at WIC?

Music's Contribution to Academic Success - 1 views

  • Researchers in Hamilton, Ohio, documented that students participating in a string pullout program scored higher on the reading, mathematics and citizenship portions of the Ohio Proficiency Test (OPT), than their non-music peers.
  • This study paired string and non-music students based on their verbal Cognitive Abilities Test (COGAT). Four groups of string students were released two times a week for instruction. Two of those four groups scored significantly higher on the reading and mathematics portion of the OPT than their non-music peers. Additionally, 68% of string students scored at grade level or higher on all four sections of the test compared to 58% of the non-music students. For more information (Michael D. Wallick, Ohio City Schools)
  • SAT scores of students who took part in music instruction surpassed students with no music training. Data collected from students taking the SAT, indicated that students taking music and arts averaged scores that were higher than non music students by 60 points on the verbal section and 43 points on the math section.
