Deviance is the interference of the social norm in a given culture. Deviance in the cultural framework has its disadvantages and advantages in many communities in society. The meaning of deviance varies from society to society, but the general meaning does not follow the norms established by the culture. Abnormal behavior in one society seems normal in another society (Nairne, 426). Deviance is measured by society's reactions to a particular behavior, it is also measured by society's lifestyle in order to define unwelcoming behavior. It ignores the social order and, according to some organizations, the reality of society. Violation of the social norm in society can be used as a means of maintaining the power, position and influence of a specific group of people or organizations within the framework of society. In most cultures, it is based on the values, actions and beliefs achieved through interaction between members of society, based on the understanding that culture is transmitted to people through intimate groups of peers . Society includes subculture and culture itself. The enormous cultural forces of society describe which acts are appreciated and which are not accepted or discouraged. On the other hand, subculture in certain contexts creates resistance to the dominant culture and, in doing so, contributes to behaviors that violate the social norms of the greater culture. Cultural conflict impacts the creation of social norms. The deviation from cultural norms can be attributed to the social classes of society. For example, prostitution in developing regions of the world is deviant in most cultures, the pressure of poverty pushes young girls to...... middle of paper ......r society greatly defines the interference of social norms, examples of which are families, schools, police institutions and courts define. Therefore, cultural deviance relies on institutions developed in the social context of different parts of the world. In short, when social bonds are weak, the risks of deviance increase (Shepard, 45). Reference Akers, R.L. (2009). Social learning and social structure: A general theory of crime and deviance.
