 1.Summary 

This passage mainly covers deviant behavior and its study in sociology. It introduces the definition of deviant behavior, including formal and informal deviance, and provides examples. Additionally, it discusses the typology of deviant behavior, as well as the understanding of deviance through structural functionalism and conflict theory. Lastly, it mentions some current research areas, such as the impact of video games on behavior and the issue of sexual violence on college campuses.

2.Interesting points 

Tattoos are not just a personal choice but also reflect societal perceptions and evolution of norms. While tattoos may hold specific meanings for individuals, societal views on tattoos have evolved from stigmatization to gradual acceptance.

You can pose questions about the relationship between electronic games and deviant behavior, such as whether research on whether violent video games lead to violent behavior is consistent and if this relationship is influenced by other factors？
