This document discusses societal norms, sanctions, and values. It defines norms as standards of behavior maintained by a society, and classifies them as either formal (mores) or informal (folkways). Mores are highly cherished principles that demand obedience and have severe penalties for violations. Folkways govern everyday behavior. Sanctions are penalties for norm violations or rewards for conformity, and must be detected to take effect. Norms and sanctions reflect and reinforce a culture's priorities and values.

Deviance and Social Control
After decades of classification as an illegal substance, marijuana became legal in some
form in nearly every state in the US. In 2013, the Pew Research Center found for the first
time that a majority of people in the United States (52 percent) favored legalizing
marijuana. Until that point, most people were in favor of retaining the drug's status as
illegal. (The question about marijuana's legal status was first asked in a 1969 Gallup poll,
and only 12 percent of US adults favored legalization at that time.) Marijuana had, for
years, been seen as a danger to society, especially to youth, and many people applied
stereotypes to users, often conflating marijuana use with negative stereotypes about race.
In essence, marijuana users were considered deviants.
Public opinion has changed over time. While the 2013 study showed support for
legalization just over the 50 percent mark, the number was up to 67 percent by 2019.
Two-thirds of people in the US favored permitting some types of legal usage, as well as
decriminalization and elimination of jail time for users of the drug (Daniller, 2019).
Government officials took note and states began changing their policies as public
assumptions changed.
The question "What is deviant behavior?" cannot be answered in a straightforward
manner. Whether an act is labeled deviant or not depends on many factors, including
location, audience, and who is performing the act (Becker, 1963). Listening to music, for
example, is considered acceptable behavior on the way to class, but during a formal
lecture, it would be considered rude. Listening to music when on the witness stand before
a judge might cause you to be held in contempt of court and consequently fined or jailed.
As norms vary across cultures and time, notions of deviance also change. Many public
schools in the United States used to ban girls from wearing pants to class, and while the
social acceptability of pants for women has become ubiquitous, the change in attitudes
towards men wearing skirts has moved more slowly. In the COVID-19 pandemic, the act
of wearing or not wearing a mask became a matter of deviance, and in some cases,
political affiliation and legality. What people agree is deviant differs in various societies
and subcultures, and it may change over time. What, exactly, then is deviance? And what
Learning Resource
is the relationship between deviance and crime? According to sociologist William Graham
Sumner, deviance is a violation of established contextual, cultural, or social norms,
whether folkways, mores, or codified law (Sumner, 1959). Deviant behavior can be as
minor as picking your nose in public or as major as committing murder.
Although the word deviance has a negative connotation in everyday language, sociologists
recognize that deviance is not necessarily bad (Schoepflin, 2011). In fact, from a structural
functionalist perspective, one of the positive contributions of dev ...

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
