Requirements: .MP3 reader, 408 MB
Overview: Why do some people commit crimes, use the wrong fork, or speak out of turn? How does a society determine when a crime has been committed, which fork to use, and who should speak when? How have we tried to explain deviance and create categories of deviants? What has been the role of race and class in these definitions?
How do deviants reconcile their behavior with society’s norms? What have been the contributions of Freud, Durkheim, Lombroso, and modern literary criticism to our understanding of deviance and conformity?
How is the practice of science itself an example of deviance and conformity?
