Deviance

     Deviance is a behavior that does not confirm to basic cultural norms and expectations. An act is defined as deviant when it is marked publicly as deviant by those with enough power to enforce that designation. So we are talking about deviance when we break the norms and act different than the norms required. These are some examples of deviant acts of our everyday life.
     The first example, I work at Harlem Childern's Zone however it was a monday I've came to work so late because I have got out of class so late. However It takes me at least 20 to 25 minutes to get to work depending on the train. As soon as i get off the train i stop at the store to get some food. I was making myself even more late and i have not ate anything yet. Then when I arrive to my job I just clocked in and went to my classroom I didn't even bother to stop by the office to see my supervisors. However, I called one supervisor to let him know I was running late. I arrive to my classroom here comes one of my supervisors that I do not get along with plus I have a bad vibe with. She pulls me out my classroom questioning me about why I am late? have I inform anybody that I was going to be late. I told her about my reasoning about me being late. Then she wants to switch the subject and talks about my hours I have walked away and ignored her because I felt like I didn't want to have any conversation with her. My supervisor got mad and decided she wanted to write me up but I didn't care. Then she came and informed me that I had to sign the write up sheet but I choose not to . However, I decline not to sign my name on the write up sheet. My supervisor decided to suspended me for a week.
     Another example, I had a get together at my house and my friends came over to drink to have a good time. Then three of my friends stepped out in the hallway and was drinking and smoking in the hall way. The police came they felt like they were trespassing however they couldn't smoke or drink in the hall. The police officer took them to the precent I felt really bad. Then me and the rest of my friends left out my house to go to the bar down town in the city however, my friend got stopped because she had an white ice cup with liquor in it. Then the police officer decided to give her fine because in New Work you can't drink outside in public.
