Deviance
I think deviance is okay when it is to change a social norm that is unfair. Like we learned in class, Martin Luther King, Jr. was technically a deviant because he was challenging the social norm that blacks weren't equal to whites. This was a great example of when deviance is okay, because it bettered society. Whenever someone acts deviantly, it reinforces what is acceptable in society, and for that I think a small amount of deviance is acceptable at all times.

Yeah i agree with your statement ben luke. This is a perfect example of when deviance is okay in a culture. There is times when deviance is need to change things to the way they should be. I just hope there will continue to be deviants when there needs to be.
