There are many different subject topics that may have been written about in this post about deviance and you brought a fantastic issue. This change in social norm has been brought to my attention before, with a class I had on film analysis. In the film "Forrest Gump," at the beginning of the film when Forrest first reluctantly gets on the school bus, the driver is smoking a cigarette. By the end of the film when Forrest's son get on the school bus with the same driver she is no longer smoking a cigarette, but chewing gum, which is something many ex-smokers do to not think about smoking.

I agree with everyone that commented your post that you gave a great example with the information you provided. I'm surprise that the awareness of smoking didn't really exist until late 1960's/early 1970's knowing the fact that tobacco smoking existed centuries ago.

This post...I must agree with the previous comments. This post is very informative and easy to understand. In addition it presents a great example of how social deviance changes over time. It really got me thinking about society today, what we consider normal and how different social norms were 40 plus years ago. With society changing at a steady pace I cant help but to try and imagine what the future holds. I really began to wonder how much deviant behavior and non-deviant behavior will alter over the next few years.David Newsomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00569674113155363769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-8369778668583883932011-03-21T15:38:10.227-04:002011-03-21T15:38:10.227-04:00Jennifer, this post is very interesting.

I would have never imagined that cigarettes were ever accepted and looked as “sophisticated” I always thought cigarettes were nasty and a waste of money. I guess this explains why in all the old movies, you see the women of high class smoking. Also this post did a very good job on demonstrating who deviance is always changing along with us and our norms.

I never thought of it as deviant behavior being as though so many people do it all the time. However, after reading your blog I now understand why it's considered as one. Thinking about all the new bands and the problems it evokes on people that do not smoke make me want to raise awareness on how this action is said to be deviant.Quiessence Roysternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-80942871642761539602011-03-21T13:54:24.334-04:002011-03-21T13:54:24.334-04:00I completely agree with this post.

When I was younger I remember seeing plenty of people smoking ciggarets and it was always people I looked up too. I would always ask them to let me try but they always said no. Now that i am older im very much glad they said no because i probably would be smoking them now. This was a very nice post because society has been and always will be defiant because laws and norms are changing quickly.Brittanie DeShieldsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-24884603412945426632011-03-21T11:21:03.470-04:002011-03-21T11:21:03.470-04:00A very nice post.

If I wasn't in this sociology class i would understand everything you talked about and posted.I also liked how you chose smoking as your main focus on this topic and who even came up with these social norms anyway.

I read this and thought "I wonder when tattoos will become as acceptable as smoking was then". I like that social norms are always in flux, especially because of some people's defiant nature. Shows that together, we really can change the world, even if it's just by making smoking less acceptable.CCP Soc 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/03482301507306679762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-30285005523781792882011-03-21T11:03:05.702-04:002011-03-21T11:03:05.702-04:00this post is very interesting because it seems tha...this post is very interesting because it seems that our society has labeled acts of deviance, as breaking some type of social norm. however who creates these social norms, many times people view different as defiant. as a society we have to learn that sometimes being defiant to certain rules, regulations, and even social norms, can lead to social and cultural advances.Paul Barolettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-5664268965053056332011-03-21T09:19:48.705-04:002011-03-21T09:19:48.705-04:00I find this post very interesting and true for the...I find this post very interesting and true for the simple fact that some older people like my grandparents think tattoos is deviant. But i think its a way to express your stuff so to them im breaking a social norm by having one or getting another one .

I find this weird since cigarettes were out way before that time. It made me sit back and think why people didn't know the harmful affects of cigarettes before the late 60's and early 70's. This post exhibits how much society's opinion really matters.
