Deviance is behaviors or actions that breach social norms. One example would be protesting that could be good or bad. Such as the protest of Black Lives Matter. It is a protest that has a lasting impact on individuals and has caused individuals to remember it. Based off of the Black Lives Matter protest I can see it potentially developing into a societal change over time. But not all protesting is positive. Protesting could lead into riots which could cause harm to individuals or property and in the end, harm is not actually identifying the true meaning behind the protest. I believe some protesting start out as a deviance behavior.

Deviance plays a roll a huge roll in everyday life due to certain situations that may cause this type of behavior. There are things like social justice movements where deviance can be positive and have a lasting impact on people’s lives. However It’s important to note that some may not see protests or riots as positive actions but they definitely cause change to come which in my eyes is positive. These types of movements are very important and can cause an everlasting impact to certain individuals. To me personally i don’t think social justice movements start out as deviant behavior because the reasons for this type of behavior are for the greater good and for the right reasons. I think because of why they are protesting it is so important and the changes they cause in society can be wonderful and bring such an impact.
