Summary

In this video, sociology tutor Kara discusses the concept of deviant behavior, which refers to actions that violate societal norms and values. The video covers the characteristics of deviant behavior, including its relativity and adaptability across different societies. Kara explains that deviance can be accepted or rejected based on cultural context, and it can arise due to imperfect socialization, anomie (a breakdown in societal norms), and labeling by society. Through examples like women's emancipation and traffic violations, the video highlights how behaviors are perceived and influenced by cultural and societal pressures.

Takeaways

• 😀 Deviant behavior refers to actions that go against societal values and norms, often leading to harm to others.
• 😀 Deviant behavior can be defined when it conflicts with the established rules and norms of society.
• 😀 Not all deviant behaviors are rejected; some can be accepted by society, such as the shift in gender roles like women working outside the home.
• 😀 Deviant behavior can be judged as relative, meaning its acceptability can depend on the perspective of the observer.
• 😀 An example of deviance is violating cultural norms, like disregarding traffic rules, which may be done due to external pressures rather than personal choice.
• 😀 Adaptive deviance occurs when behaviors change based on the context, such as the difference in public dating norms between Western and Indonesian cultures.
• 😀 Deviant behavior can be seen as either a violation of real culture (actual behavior) versus ideal culture (theoretical norms).
• 😀 Imperfect socialization can lead to deviance, as individuals may not learn the correct societal values, especially if the family does not provide proper guidance.
• 😀 Differential association occurs when individuals learn deviant behavior through intense interactions with others who engage in such behaviors.
• 😀 Anomie, a state where societal norms become unclear or ineffective, can also cause deviant behavior because people are less afraid of the existing rules.
• 😀 Social labels, like being called a 'cheater' or 'former prisoner,' can influence behavior, causing individuals to internalize and normalize their deviant actions over time.

Q & A

What is deviant behavior?

Deviant behavior is behavior that does not align with the values and norms of a society. It often involves actions that harm others or disrupt social harmony, such as stealing, killing, or robbing.

Why is deviant behavior not accepted by society?

Deviant behavior is not accepted because it often harms others or undermines societal order. Such actions violate societal values and norms, leading to rejection by the community.

What are the characteristics of deviant behavior?

The characteristics of deviant behavior include: 1) It can be defined by societal norms, 2) Deviations can be either accepted or rejected, 3) Deviant behavior is relative and can be judged differently by different people, 4) It can involve violations of both real and ideal culture, and 5) It is adaptive, changing according to the context in which it occurs.

How can deviant behavior be defined?

Deviant behavior is defined as behavior that contradicts the established values and norms of society. For behavior to be considered deviant, it must conflict with the rules and expectations of the community.

What is the difference between accepted and rejected deviation?

Accepted deviation refers to actions that, while deviant, are viewed as permissible by society, such as gender equality movements. Rejected deviation includes actions like stealing, corruption, and murder, which are generally condemned by society.

What does 'relative deviance' mean?

Relative deviance means that the perception of whether a behavior is deviant depends on the person or group judging it. For example, cheating might be seen as acceptable by one group but unacceptable by another.

What is a violation of real culture versus ideal culture?

A violation of real culture versus ideal culture occurs when individuals act not because they want to, but because they are compelled to follow societal rules. For example, people may obey traffic laws out of obligation rather than personal desire.

How is deviant behavior adaptive?

Deviant behavior is adaptive when it changes according to the cultural context. For example, public displays of affection may be considered inappropriate in some cultures but are widely accepted in others.

What factors contribute to deviant behavior?

Factors contributing to deviant behavior include imperfect socialization (lack of good values learned at home), differential association (learning deviant behavior through interaction), deviant subcultures (repeated deviant acts becoming habitual), anomie (a breakdown of societal norms), and labeling (being stigmatized for deviant acts, which can reinforce the behavior).

What is the concept of 'Anomie' in relation to deviant behavior?

Anomie refers to a breakdown or blurring of societal norms, where people no longer feel constrained by rules. This lack of strong societal regulations may lead to more people engaging in deviant behavior, as the existing norms no longer have a deterrent effect.
