Deviance

I believe deviance can be a good thing. For example, in the 60s during the civil rights movement all of those people were "deviants" however, they were fighting for a good cause which was equality for all man, no matter what your skin color was. I think what we consider deviance also changes over time because back then if you were fighting for the rights of a black man you'd be labeled as a deviant, were as if you were to do that today no one would care. It'd fall into a "social norm." So I guess every now and then humanity needs a little deviance to push us in the right direction.
