Deviance

Last week in class we discussed the topic of deviance.  Deviance depends on time period and culture.  Some things that are acceptable in our culture might not be acceptable in others such as holding your significant others hand in public.  As times have changed so has what is known as "norms" or socially acceptable things.  When our parents were growing up tattoos were not acceptable to have and now almost everyone debates whether to get one or not when they turn eighteen.
