Deviance
Anything that goes against social expectations is considered to be deviant. There is positive and negative deviance. Positive deviance is pretty much any random act of kindness such as, buying some random person's coffee or something as simple as holding the door open for the person behind you. An example of negative deviance could be two men kissing even though more recently being homosexual is becoming more and more acceptable by our society. Recently when I was visiting my buddy in Iowa and one of his friends came to his apartment and while he was talking he would have a studder, but then he would start free styling he would just flow and not studder one bit. It was sick.

That is sick, really cool how he is able to free style normally even though he has a studder.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of deviance I normally only think of it as a negative things, but it's interesting to also look at it as a positive thing like how your friend doesn't studder when he free styles.
