Deviance

In everyone's everyday life consist of deviance whether they are positive or negative.  Many people preform deviant acts or behaviors without even knowing because deviant behaviors or acts have changed from generation to generation. Reason for this is because for every generation certain deviant behaviors have been accepted in society or not accepted in society.  But even in our generation there are different deviant acts and behaviors because each one person is different because different communities accept and reject certain deviancy.
In an example/experiment I held a door for another student who was quite a few years younger than me. With this example I found out that we were both raised differently because while I held the door she did not thank me.  This result might of happened because of the fact that where if someone holds the door it is a common courtesy, so she probably was raised that she didn't need to thank me for it. But when/where I was raised I was taught to always hold the door and thank people that hold the door for you.  So that just proves deviant behaviors can vary from where a person is raised and how they were taught to act within a society/ community.
