Deviance

During the week we have been talking about deviance. When you don't give much knowledge or thought to the word you think of it in a negative aspect. But deviance doesn't have to be negative. Deviance is simply differing from a norm or from the accepted standards of a society. This could be a good thing at times and that is why we did the experiment where we had to try to violate a norm in a positive way. For example, for my experiment I washed the dinner dishes. I never wash everyone dashes, I hate it. Normally I wash just my own dashes if the sink is empty. I knew I had to do something different then I normally don't do so after I was done eating, I started washing the dishes. My mom looked surprised but she didn't say anything. I think it was because she was afraid if she did I would stop washing the dishes. Afterwords she did say thank you but that was all. It was kind of funny how normal is acted. I felt kind of good afterwords.
