Answer to Question 1

 Howard S. Becker states that whether behavior is defined as deviant or not depends on how people define and respond to the behavior.
 Labeling theory is the idea that crime and all other forms of rule breaking result not so much from what people do as from how others respond to those actions.
 Edwin Lemert explored how individuals can be changed by the labels that people apply to their behavior. He believed that primary deviance (incidents with only passing significance) can lead to secondary deviance and a deviant identity.
