Q What evidence can you recall to argue that deviance is a social construction? Are there any norms that exist in other countries - or other time periods - that are not similar to what is experienced in contemporary American society (please avoid using those discussed in the powerpoint)? Perhaps something that is now considered deviant that once wasn't (or vice versa) or a cultural practice that, here in the U.S., would be considered deviant and warrant a formal sanction? How does this transition into unequal distribution of deviant identities and the consequences of such (crime)?
