 Summary: Deviance refers to behavior or characteristics that violate societal norms or values. It is relative, as it depends on the specific societal and cultural context. Sociology studies deviance to understand why people deviate from societal norms and the impact of such deviation on society.


Interesting Points:


1. Cultural Differences: Deviance is relative, and the definition of what constitutes deviance may vary across different societies and cultures.

2. Social Control: Society employs various institutions and mechanisms to control deviance, such as family, education, religion, and the legal system.

3. Labeling Theory: Labeling theory suggests that individuals labeled as “deviant” may engage in more deviant behavior as a result of self-fulfilling prophecy.

4. Functionalist Perspective: Functionalist theory posits that deviance contributes to the maintenance of societal functions by emphasizing the importance of societal norms in promoting social cohesion and consistency.

5. Conflict Theory: Conflict theory views deviance as a result of social inequality and power distribution, with certain groups being labeled as deviant to maintain the interests of the ruling class.


Issues:


1. Socialization of Deviance: How do individuals accept or reject deviant behavior during the socialization process, and how does this socialization process influence the emergence of deviance?

2. Definition of Deviance: Different cultures and societies may have varying definitions of deviance. How does this cultural difference affect the understanding and handling of deviance?

3. Social Response to Deviance: How does society treat and address deviant behavior? How do social control institutions balance punishment and rehabilitation?

4. Impact of Deviance: What are the effects of deviant behavior on individuals and society? What social issues and challenges may arise as a result?

5. Resolution of Deviance: How can deviant behavior be prevented and reduced? What measures should society take to address deviant behavior and its consequences?

1. Summary Scientific method is a method of acquiring knowledge, a systematic mode of thinking and a means of research, which is used to solve problems, explore laws and test theories. The key processes include observing phenomena, constructing hypotheses, planning experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and summarizing conclusions. The scientific method focuses on proof and repeatability, using experiments and observations to test hypotheses during research, and adjusting or confirming theories based on data. 2. Mention of new, interesting The debate between postmodernism and modernism has been going on for a long time, and they have done a lot of research to carry out this debate. Although this problem has been solved with the efforts of scientists, it also shows that the development of anything is not static, and only continuous exploration can make better progress. 3. Discussion As the scientific method has evolved over the centuries to become authoritative, are there othe

  summarize The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories. The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories. About the points I learned 1. The scientific method is based on careful observation and rigorous skepticism. This means that scientists should not readily accept any ideas or assumptions, but should always question and think critically about observational data. 2.Scientific inquiry is not merely the pursuit of truth, but the process of shedding inhibited skepticism and establishing reliable beliefs.

 Summary: Social stratification is a multidimensional concept encompassing the impact of factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and occupation on individuals' social status. In modern Western societies, social stratification is typically divided into upper class, middle class, and lower class, with each class further subdivided into smaller categories. Social stratification is not only about quantitative inequalities but also involves beliefs and attitudes toward social status. Within complex social structures, there exist various stratification phenomena, with the most privileged individuals and families enjoying disproportionate access to income, power, and other social resources. Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals, social groups, or populations between or within layers of the stratification system. Open stratification systems allow for mobility between individuals, whereas closed systems have minimal mobility, with social status often remaining uncha
