I think that on many occassions that people think and feel that they are doing something "noble" and with a "purpose" behind it but many times they are being deviant just to be different from the rest of the group. Deviance is definitely a good thing if the goal is one that will serve the public and help other people out. Deviance for the sake of deviance, I think we can live without that.Shannon Hallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-1808385757264618582011-06-07T12:32:04.131-04:002011-06-07T12:32:04.131-04:00All these points are true.

The key to remember is that in order for radical change to occur, radical acts are neccessary. Thats what Rosa Parks did. Regardless of whether you believe if her act had the intentions that are attached to it now, it brought about radical social change that was neccessary in order for our country to advance.Raimundo Riveranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-87336403113669752402011-06-06T19:57:33.543-04:002011-06-06T19:57:33.543-04:00yes Idella Logan, for some reasons, deviance is n...yes Idella Logan, for some reasons, deviance is not a crime because sometimes it has both positive and negative results, many people probably thought that was a deviant crime while for African American it was a huge step toward equality. even though she lasted in jail, but she knew that she opened many doors to African american. after that we saw how African american gained powerLamberto Owono Abengnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-76647043592745163892011-06-06T00:02:54.669-04:002011-06-06T00:02:54.669-04:00I agree with your topic, although I would use the ...I agree with your topic, although I would use the word advocate, rather than deviant, for a person such as Rosa Parks. I think thst the word deviant tends to have a negative connotation, however advocate is a word that still means breaking norms, but just a more positive, legal connotation.Daniel Dickensonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-63273095486168149942011-06-05T21:10:07.849-04:002011-06-05T21:10:07.849-04:00Thank You Rosa Parks for taking a stand for what y...Thank You Rosa Parks for taking a stand for what you believed in. Her deviant behavior sparked a movement. If it wasn't for her deviance we still might be riding in the back of the bus.

When thinking of deviance, one automatically assumes that a negative act was committed. What Rosa Parks did created a different outlook on deviance. Also by doing so she helped pave the way for the civil rights movement. This piece helped me realize that deviance can have pros and cons. It could cause a person to do jail time or it could cause a person to make a significant change in society.Vandola Brownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-64244187619258093802011-06-05T18:12:14.744-04:002011-06-05T18:12:14.744-04:00Nice job! very clever using Rosa Park as an exampl...Nice job! very clever using Rosa Park as an example of deviant act. I totally agree with you that sometime deviant act can result in positive things. For example, heroism - saving the life of another person while putting your own life in great danger, that is indeed a form of deviant.Truong Phamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-50884081132086184702011-06-05T16:34:38.767-04:002011-06-05T16:34:38.767-04:00Thanks a million .This ias really a true example o...Thanks a million .This ias really a true example of how devaence behavior brings society together.Nowu kellernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-40607119626731523532011-06-05T16:06:55.538-04:002011-06-05T16:06:55.538-04:00Great job on this piece Idella.

It showed how deviance can be benificial to us all and gave recognition to a ridiculous rule and how Rosa Parks’s deviance helped to promote change for the better. That made me think of how following the "popular" or "proper" rule isn't always in the best interest of most. What rules do we practice today that possibly need to be re-examined and changed and who do they benefit.

When in actuality, they were people either standing up for what they believed in or just sick and tired of being mistreated. I really enjoyed reading your blog and I too appreciate you using an act so simple as a woman being so tired that she was compelled to take a stand, as a way to help us identify deviant behavior. Rosa Parks' act of defiance help to bring necessary attention to an extremely prejudice society. Your post is definitely an example of defiance being positive.Alicia Artiesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-75483611497047050282011-06-02T09:28:54.920-04:002011-06-02T09:28:54.920-04:00I thank you for reminding us of a great women that...I thank you for reminding us of a great women that put her live on the line and stood up to on my behalf yes its was a act of deviance but so was the driver of that bus and the people on the bus here you have a elder lady who paid for a ride on the bus just like every one eles that day and all they could see was the color of her skin I think if it was me i would when to jail tooDeborah Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-69155400872528307532011-06-01T23:43:14.815-04:002011-06-01T23:43:14.815-04:00Love how you incorporated a real life example into...Love how you incorporated a real life example into the post.
