Deviance and Conformity

Eating soup with a fork is an example of breaking a norm because usually, we eat soup with a spoon!

 This is an example of property crime because this individual is trying to break into someone's house without being violent.

 The boy ditching class and falling asleep by the lockers is an example of deviant behavior because he is violating a norm and once the teacher or principal spots him, he will be in a lot of trouble! Wake up, buddy!

My two friends wore hair extensions at school because they thought they were being funny. This is an example of breaking a norm because two boys are wearing extensions, which is something female's wear!


This picture from high school depicts me being a conformist. I'm wearing the proper uniform of our school, attending class, and writing down notes of that class. I'm following the socially accepted standards set for a high school senior.
