A cat makes a great villain. They’re sneaky, carry a care-less attitude and are only concerned with themselves. Tom was my favorite animated feline. The relationship between him and Jerry was the typical cat chasing the mouse scenario; however Tom only pursued Jerry because it is in a cat’s nature. Meanwhile, Garfield is just a bully. Organizational deviancy breaks the sociological norms that are implied or written within and organization. It can be showing up late for work or not following the regulations of the company.

    The unwritten rules that govern our lives are called norms, the definition of a norm is simple, "something that is usual, typical, or standard." Norms can be defined as the day to day codes of conduct which are perceived as typical, normal and standard that dictate everything we do. From how we talk to people, to when it is appropriate to talk, how we interact with others, to something as mundane as how we dress. Norms define absolutely everything in a society but how did it get to that point and why. Erving Goffman is accredited as the pioneering scholar to provide foundations for what a norm is.

  • Juan's Cultural Norm Analysis

    381 Words  | 2 Pages

    aaaaIt appears that Juan is committed to his cultural background and identity, as is holds fast to gender ethnocentricism, or the need “to maintain control and authority over their wives” (Thomas, and Schwarzbaum 2010, 42–42). It is obvious that Juan’s cultural norm consists of this belief, as are most Hispanic/Latin Americans. His coupled with his position of authority as an evangelist, may meet an innate desire to be in control. Juan seemed to inform their parents of their ‘sin’ as another way of controlling Eidi, whether intentional or not. It seems that her reluctance to get married challenged his authority as a man, so he used their cultural respect for their elders to coerce her into what he wanted; possibly to ease his own convictions.

    Deviance has many functions in society. Although deviance violates social norms, without it, we would not have rules, so it helps form, guide, and shape society’s norms and goals. Social norms are different from culture to culture. Norms that may be acceptable in one culture may be frowned upon in another. Emile Durkheim quotes that “deviance and deviant behavior is an integral part of all healthy societies (Adler, 2014, p74).”

    When we talk about race, gender, sexual orientation and class issues, we implied that something was not conformed to the norms. I feel it’s critical to understand the social norms people hold. It’s amazing that only human beings are capable of elaborate symbolic communication and of structuring their behavior in terms of abstract preferences that we have called values. Norms are the means through which values are expressed in behavior. Norms generally are the rules and regulations that groups live by.

  • Cultural Norms In Schools

    I do agree with Barth that culture norms are very important to change the culture of a school and replace the old culture that has a bad impact on the educational attainment of a school with healthy cultural norms. When I was in middle school, my school was strict and we had to follow many rules that I frankly believe they affected the school achievement. For example, students in my school and in Saudi generally have formal relationships with their teachers and use formal titles when addressing them. We were not allowed to talk about anything outside the course of study. Mostly, schools do not have a variety of extracurricular activities, if any at all.

    “Everyone is buying this, so it must be good, I also want one”, this is what is called Conformity and this is what the marketers rely on. As social species, our basic need is to have a sense of belonging-to be a part of the group, a group that shares ideas or habits similar to that of our own. Once we are a part of such a group, we try to do what others are doing, becoming copycats, and in the process acquiring even the irrational desires of the group. We change our behavior to be like others. We are ready to ignore even the most obvious truths if that increases our likeability.

But the same feeling of belonging to a group comes with other feelings: discrimination. The emotions that come with identifying are accompanied by a feeling of superiority over those with whom you do not. You may know these feelings from the anger of attending a home game at Faurot Field and seeing anyone wearing colors that are not gold and black.
