jrThe conclusion reinforced that there is a collective understanding of what it means to "deviate" to the average layperson. However, this can be incredibly enhanced when we zoom out to the different ways it can manifest itself. It made me question: does hegemony work so well because of the fear of deviating which has been socialized into us all? Is teaching deviance from a younger age valuable, and in what ways could this inspire change in social institutions that are seldom challenged? #so345
Harry21@jackrabbit2 I believe that we are all made to fear deviance because it differs us from society. However some acts of deviance aren’t harmful, they actually show people’s personality. For example people wear more colorful makeup or wear more bright pieces of clothing, these acts though seen as deviant are not harmful. These acts show people’s individuality and that is important because why would we want everyone to be the same. It is important for people to exercise their differences. #so345
