Deviance

Going against society's norm would is an act of deviance. It can be either good or bad.Punishable deviance is a society construct because the society makes the laws and decides what people should and should not be allowed to do in the given society. We regulate punishable deviance in the US by having laws. Then the police jobs are to enforce the lawas and make sure that people aren't being deviant. If, though, someone decides to be deviant they get punished in some form or another. The more extreme the deviance is the more extreme the punishment will be. For example if someone were to speed, they would have to pay a fine for completing that act of deviance. Another example is robbing a bank in which you would get sent to jail for completling that act of deviance. With a few different things you can go to court and try to explain t0 the juge that your act is deviant enough so you shouldn't be punished, or you are so rarely deviant that this one little mistake you shouldn't be punsished for. Once the deviants are in jail they just have to stay in there. They are just commanded to stay in jail. throuhout the day they pretty much do what they like within the jail.

Sociolization/Adolescence Reflection

1.There is nature and nuture constantly throughout life. What I have chosen to wear today is mostly nuture. Something somewhat relating to nature with what I am wearing is a skirt. I am wearing a skirt because I am Jewish which is nature becaue I was born Jewish but the fact that I chose to wear a skirt is based off of the type of Jewish peopl I grew up around. Future professions is usually determined by the person themselves. As you go through school till you high school you get to try things out and figure out what you enjoy and then whatever you like best people try and find a profession in. All this is nuture. Sports and activities that people enjoy are nuture. You aren't born enjoying something as you are growing up you try different things and see what you like to do so mostly what you like is based off of nuture.
2. Adolescent social power is so important because they really have no other power. They are still told what to do, like going to school. They are trying to figure out what they want to do with life but they are still restricted. They spend so much time worrying about social power because it is the only power teenagers are able to attain. They are unable to get power in the work place or complete power over their life becase they are still living at home and going to school.
3.Today the sociolization for teenagers is different than it was in the past becuase of all the technology that we have. Teenagers have instant communication with their frineds basically 24/7 by texting, using facebook. Teenagers are spending more time with their friends and less time with their family. The problem raised is that teenagers are not going to be able to get along in the future when they grow up because they need instant things and not everything works like that further down the line. They aren't going to know what to do when there aren't things for them that they can use and they instead themselves have to create it.
4. Some gender differences in sociolizaion are things that you can see even through kids by the different toys that they play with. For example most girls commonly play with dolls. One of the common popular dolls is a barbie. Who has a perfect skinny body and girls from when they are little have this image that people need to be skinny to be good. An example of a toy for boys could be legos and how using legos to build what y ou like and then destroy it when you like.

Adolescence

Adolescence is f transitioning time between childhood and adulthood. Society teaches this age group the way it does because at this point in your life you need to transition from adult to child by slowing having more and more responsibilities as the years go on. The way the government is treating people this age is by giving the adolescence slowly more and more responsibility like allowing them to drive, vote, and be able to get arrested just like an adult. The struggle this creates for teenagers is that they are unsure what they are supposed to be responsible for and what they are not supposed to be responsible for. Since things slowly get harder as they get older it is a slow and hard transition. Status power is what adolescence spend a lot of their time worrying about. People want to fit in and do what everyone else is doing around them. In present day a lot of people like wearing popular brand names at the current time and the most up to date items that those brand name sell. Also people don't want to discuss an action they are going to do if that would come off as not being normal. People like to try and be like everyone else around them. The impact this has on development is probably that people will go through all their life trying to fit in. This might all be able to be avoided if people were to just do what they like and not worry about what everyone else is doing.
