Deviance

There are appropriate times for someone to be deviant. Take Martin Luther King Jr. for example, how would our lives be different if he was not deviant? He fought against the social norms and many people hated him, so by definition he was a deviant. However, he was breaking the norms for the bettering of humanity. If someone is changing the way a society works because what they are doing was wrong, then this is a form of positive deviance. Not all deviance is bad, and if it makes a change for the better, then it is a good thing.
