This sort of solitary behavior in and of itself is not necessarily anti-social. but, what is anti-social is the fact that this individuals fails to interact with people around him. One time I came in and asked him where my friend was and he stated loudly and harshly (without looking up from his computer) that he did not know. This sort of response has successfully negated any further attempts on my part to engage this person. My friend who lives with him says he does the same things to him. This person only communicates with people on the computer. Perhaps this is because he is a foreign exchange student whose friends and family are in another country. Still, by choosing to avoid talking to people in real life and fixating himself solely on his computer, this sort of antisocial behavior is deviant and not frequently found in contemporary society. I have...
She, like numerous other college students, engages in social and recreational drinking. This fact is fine. However, this friend frequently drinks to the point of success. Even this fact does not mean she is exhibiting socially deviant behavior -- there are numerous college students who frequently drink to excess. However, when she does drink to success, which is quite often, she regularly urinates in bed before or during the time she is sleeping. Such behavior is considered deviant because it indicates that there is some sort of problem: either with her drinking or her urinary system, or perhaps with both. However, for this person to continually engage in such behavior while afflicted with this problem indicates that she is deviating from normal behavior. It is not normal for young adults to urinate when in bed.
To be stigmatized by society for a disorder such as schizophrenia is truly unfair, due to the disorder not being the fault of the person afflicted with it. In all social situations, to be stigmatized would make the person an outcast, meaning that the person would be ostracized from all social activities that make up a "normal" lifestyle. In public places, the stigmatized individual would be shunned by everyone which
Deviant Behavior in the Workplace Counterproductive and Deviant Behavior in the Workplace Deviant behavior in the workplace may seem like somewhat of a rarity, but it is actually relatively common. Part of the reason behind that is that there is a broad definition of what is deviant or counterproductive, and part of the reason is that many organizations either ignore the behavior or take care of it internally, so it doesn't make
Potentially any individual who is gifted, if stifled and/or offered negative role models of behavior could become a negatively deviant individual in adulthood or childhood. It is important to point out that many experts conclude that these young people are often feared, due to their differences and the complications of helping such a child are many. (Winner, 1996, p. 2) Deviant people -- whether atypical in personality, intellect, or both
Deviant Behavior In the United States, there are laws which determine the proper punishment for individuals who choose to commit crimes. If someone is under a certain age, then that individual is held less responsible for their choices than an adult who makes that same choice. However, if the crime is severe enough or if there is no appropriate remorse from the perpetrator, District Attorneys and prosecution may decide to try
On the other hand, this exposure to many different systems of morality can also be confusing, and can make any kind of deviant behavior seem acceptable in a relativistic fashion. Why obey the drug laws of the United States when in Amsterdam, there are no such regulations? Setting standards of deviance and normalcy is a negotiation between the rights of the individual and the needs of the community. Sometimes, the
(Gunkel, 2001, p. 8) It would seem, that the line that one oversteps to become deviant is the line that demonstrates the outsmarting of another to create chaos in ones system and potentially do real damage to materials and data. Of coarse this would include any hacking that results in crime, and especially theft and fraud. Hacking in all intense and purpose is deviant behavior, that challenges the current cultural dependence
