4. CONFORMITY, DEVIANCE, & SOCIAL CONTROL

5. NORMS a standard or pattern, especially of social behavior, that is typical or expected of a group.

6. Every culture has norms that establish expectations about what types of behavior are appropriate for particular people in certain social situations.

7. CONFORMITY Is an act of submitting oneself to the norms of the society.

8. CONFORMITY Pressure to behave in ways that are viewed acceptable or appropriate by a group of people in a society.

9. Why do people conform? TWO MAIN REASONS because they want to fit in with the group; because they believe the group is better informed than they are.

20. We conform because… We don’t want hassle in life; We just obey so life would be less stressful ; We belong to the majority; There is a reward that we can get.

21. TYPES OF CONFORMITY

22. 1. NORMATIVE submit to group pressure to fit in ; afraid of being rejected; involves compliance.

23. 1. NORMATIVE Peer pressure: This is when you use others’ behaviour/comments as a guide for how to fit in and avoid disapproval.

24. 2. COMPLIANCE publicly changes behaviour to fit in while privately disagreeing; conforming to majority .

25. 3. INFORMATIONAL when a person is lacking knowledge , and looks for group guidance; socially compares their behaviour with the group;

26. 4. INTERNALIZATION occurs when we change our behavior because we want to be like another person.

27. 5. INGRATIATION where a person conforms to impress or gain favour/acceptance from the group;

28. 5. INGRATIATION similar to Normative influence, but is motivated by the need for social rewards than the threat of rejection;

29. 6. IDENTIFICATION conform to the expectations of a social role ; similar to compliance, but the does not have to be a change in private opinion.

30. DEVIANCE

31. When a person violates a norm, members of society respond by recognizing the act as deviant.

32. DEVIANCE Behavior that some people in society find offensive and which excites, if it were discovered, disapproval, punishment, condemnation, or hostility.

33. DEVIANCE Deviant behavior is outside the bounds of the group or society.

34. Deviance is not simply behavior. It involves a moral judgment.

35. The Nature of Deviance Almost any behavior or appearance can qualify as deviant under the right circumstances. Conceptions of what is deviant may vary over time and place.

36. Deviance exists because people make judgments; it is a product of society 1. It exists only in relation to cultural norms 2. People become deviant when others define them that way

37. Deviance Is A Complex Concept Not everyone who commits a deviant act is caught and not everyone who is punished committed the crime.

38. Emile Durkheim who is considered as the father of sociology explains that deviance is necessary in society.

39. Emile Durkheim Modern societies are prone to anomie or normlessness. Such a condition leaves individuals socially unregulated and prone to deviance.

40. STRAIN THEORY According to this theory, people deviate from societal norms because of their inability to reach cultural goals through legitimate means.

41. STRAIN THEORY ROBERT K. MERTON noted that not all members of a culture were always given equal opportunities to attain the ideal goals and as a result people experienced stress.

42. All crime is deviance…but all deviance is NOT a crime.

44. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

45. ABORTION

46. BEGGARS

47. PROSTITUTION

48. Attacking others with weapon

49. Public display of affection

50. Drug use

51. Talking with full mouth

52. All crimes are deviant, but some deviant behaviour are not, is not criminal because the norms have not been made into law by a recognized political authority.

53. FORMS OF DEVIANCE He proposes a theory of deviance based on accepting or rejecting goals and the means of achieving them.

54. 1. CONFORMITY Follows the process of pursuing a person’s goal through traditional means like education and hard work.

55. CULTURAL GOALS CULTURAL NORMS EXAMPLE ACCEPT ACCEPT A high school student graduates and goes to college.

56. 2. RITUALISM Person rejects a certain cultural goal , but still continues to act conventionally to project a level of dignity.

57. 2. RITUALISM Find it impossible to achieve goals by acceptable means.

58. Ritualism is common among people of modest social standing who have little opportunity to gain more in life but fear risking what they have though innovation.

59. Examples of these are the lower-level officials who compulsively conform to rules to the points of losing sight of their overall purpose. The means become ends in themselves.

60. Such people are deviant, although they may be viewed as good citizens because of their rigid adherence to the rules. In Filipino, we call them “wala ng ambisyon sa buhay,” or “kuntento na sa kanyang kalagayan”

61. CULTURAL GOALS CULTURAL NORMS EXAMPLE REJECT ACCEPT Passing on a promotion rather than face failure .

62. 3. RETREATISM The individual is similar to being apathetic. Acceptance of their current situation is evident by not doing anything to change or improve it.

63. 3. RETREATISM They resort to suicide, drug addiction, and chronic alcoholism..

64. CULTURAL GOALS CULTURAL NORMS EXAMPLE REJECT REJECT Drug addicts, beggars.

65. 4. INNOVATION Is the use of non-traditional way or approach to reach a socially acceptable goal

66. 4. INNOVATION accepts the cultural goal but the position within society prevents adequate access to legitimate means for goals attainment.

67. 4. INNOVATION The individual then resorts to illegitimate means to achieve culturally approved goals such as economic success, material possessions, and social status.

68. CULTURAL GOALS CULTURAL NORMS EXAMPLE REJECT REJECT Want wealth, Drug dealers, burglars, theft

69. 5. REBELLION An individual rejects both the cultural goal and the traditional way of reaching it.

70. 5. REBELLION Substitute new set of goals and means of achieving the goals.

71. 5. REBELLION Radicals who want to repair or even destroy the current system in order to build a new social structure

72. CULTURAL GOALS CULTURAL NORMS EXAMPLE REJECT & REPLACE REJECT & REPLACE Members of a revolutionary movement

73. SOCIAL CONTROL

74. SOCIAL CONTROL systematic practices developed by social groups to encourage conformity and to discourage deviance .

75. SOCIAL CONTROL The the government, the courts and law enforcement agencies are structures or institutions in society that maintains peace & order.

76. JUSTICE SYSTEM Ensures that criminal courts give a fair and just judgement on cases involving that accused.

77. SOCIAL CONTROL Society has different ways in making its members conform and behave according to its norm and standards.

78. Social control forces people to conform and that those who oppose are considered deviants, rebels or oppositionists.
