Answer to Question 2

Sociologically, deviance is any behavior, belief, or condition that violates significant

social norms in the society or group in which it occurs. Deviance may take the form of

behavior or a belief system, or it may be due to having a specific condition or

characteristic (such as obesity or HIV/AIDS). Deviance is relative an act becomes

deviant when it is socially defined as such. Definitions of deviance vary widely from

place to place, from time to time, and from group to group. Deviant behavior also

varies in its degree of seriousness, ranging from mild transgressions of folkways, to

more serious infringements of mores, to quite serious violations of the law.
