Deviants

Deviants are individuals or behaviors that differ from the accepted norms or standards of a society. These deviations can be related to actions, beliefs, or characteristics that are viewed as unusual or unacceptable by the majority. Society often reacts to deviants through labels, sanctions, or social responses aimed at maintaining order and cohesion. It's important to recognize that what is considered deviant can vary across cultures and contexts, and sometimes, behaviors labeled as deviant may challenge or inspire social change. Understanding deviance involves examining the social rules and reactions that define and shape perceptions of normalcy.
