Theory & Deviance: Crash Course Sociology #19

[@TheePinkExplosion]

Someone tell me why I can learn more from a 9minute crash course video then a two-hour college lecture hahaha. This series has been so much help! Thanks Crash Course!

[@paulalancaster1]

This course is great! I never found sociology interesting before. I guess I've never heard it presented this well. One request though to the editor: please don't cut so closely between her sentences. It makes her sound like she's racing the clock or something. Her sentences are very rich with info and concepts and it would help to have a few more milliseconds to digest before the next one starts.

[@JulieDiana1992]

I have always gone against social norms and I'm not really sure why. I never went to college, I have a self employed job cleaning houses, female living by myself, I don't ever want kids. idk why I am like this I just never cared about what others want for me but doing what makes me happy

[@DavidDylanFisher]

Given that Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat was not a spontaneous act of defiance, but something planned and carried out in the context of her work within the civil rights community, it may not be the best example of deviance: she may have deviated from the laws of the Jim Crow South, but she was upholding the ideals of her community/subculture, her fellow civil rights' activists. So she was deviant in a sort of the same way Neil Armstrong was deviant.

[@crashcourse]

Absolutely - though in this case, the fact that there are different kinds of deviance is much of the point of the example.

[@diyakomoradi3763]

Even through her peers' ideals resonated with each other, most did not act out of that the way Parks did -- making her act a deviant act. I think Crash Course was perfectly fine to use her as an example.

[@whiteeyedshadow8423]

yes...and anyway it was an act of defiance in her country

[@unknownnumber6083]

I always watch your videos before my exam, and they are extremely helpfull. I am glad I'm a sociology student.

[@user-cw2zb6ou8e]

Cc Sociology has become one of my favorite cc series tbh 🙌🏼

[@Carmenifold]

I'm finally caught up! i can finally watch these as they come out. also it's good to see the like/dislike ratio has gotten less crazy, i love this subject. as a writer, especially, learning how society functions is extremely helpful to gain insight and construct believable worlds.

[@alutsenko2002]

There is an interesting theory, called 'a theory of delinquent cultures' (Sellin, Miller, Sutherland). It says that deviance is mainly caused by being influenced by a group that has deviant norms. Also it would be nice to notice Durkheim's explanation of deviance as a result of anomie.

[@ShawnRavenfire]

What about conformity within deviant subcultures? Like the South Park episode with the Goth kids all conforming to each other to keep from being called "conformists."

[@sizanogreen9900]

I would say that this is just conformity towards the standarts a smaller group. In my eyes the only true deviant would be an autonomous individual. Funny that it is also the state many philosophers (i.e. Nietsche) think is the most desireable for a human being capable of reaching it.

[@Sordatos]

Sizano Green Which will never happen because nobody lives in a void. Also that's not how humans work

[@saitenotoshuitsnaini]

Sizano Green it's not actually autonomous, nietzche propose that a person should become an ubermensch, one who can assume to accept reality he perceived and position himself standing on it, not succumbing to it as letzemensch would. i believe your southpark reference is more suited as to say that the behavior of one subcultural community to conform its members are the means of compromize/ tolerate some space for an accessible acceptance where society as a whole would not eitherway. i take ubermensch as a person who would keep his disposition towards whatever the society demand him to/to be, without being submissive to it regardless the existance of conformity he could compensate from subcultural community or not. he do not deviate nor abide himself to absolute truth society deems it to say.

[@julie8737]

in the video she defines this as "rebellion"

[@StepBackHistory]

Fun fact, I only decided on a major in history over sociology while applying to university. Could have been Step Back Sociology

[@rollingthrees]

Step Back History but why tho

[@Meganopteryx]

I think deviance is the societal equivalent of biological mutations. They allow societies to change and respond to different stimuli. Sometimes they can be harmful though.

[@FlorenceFox]

You're basically describing the idea of memetics, I think. The idea that a society operates much like a living organism, with memes (no, not funny cat pictures) taking the place of genes. Deviance would therefore a sort of memetic mutation, and societal change occurs when those mutations take.

[@trudyhayes4700]

These videos have changed me a lot meaning how i look at things much different in society i am more informed mainly when it comes to Theory and Devianvce they have caused me to have a better underatanding of the work of Sociologist and Scientist .Thank you

[@jevonmansano579]

All you cape students i see you 🤣

[@chikumbimwenda9729]

My exams are in a week, i am loving these CC series

[@Hydemica]

All throughout the video I constantly got distracted by her catchy appearance! The cute shirt matches the lips perfectly, light and bright hair and cute and quirky teeth match each other and contrast the pinky red theme, the glasses fit her perfectly... Oh wait yeah, Durkheim...

[@despaahana]

Nicole's voice is just the right frequency to make my phone speakers buzz like crazy! Pause whole I get my headphones... Lol

[@stephensaville5344]

Great video! Thanks. (I recommend you watch in 0.75 though)

[@dangomez1389]

Great episode for explaining a lot of what is going on. Very dense though.

[@khanhdoattitude]

I'm pretty sure control theory argues that when a person has more social ties, they are more " socially controlled" and hence will less likely to be deviant. Example: Church goers commit less crime

[@jadonbertholf547]

Which do ya love more, the host or the fact that she's a great conversationalist?

[@yannie680]

[@ADEVOD]

Best series on earth

[@chillsahoy2640]

Cue the tie-in with Crash Course Philosophy, and discussion on the philosophy of law. Some rules or norms are not actually 'correct' (logically, factually or morally) but if enough people follow them and believe them to be fair, it is less likely that these rules will be questioned or changed in the future.

[@anitv432]

I walk my pet rock? Is that an act of deviance?

[@sirmclovin9184]

Drug users being seen as sick instead of criminal may be an improvement, but it is still essentially a stigma. I find the conflict theory view here much more reflective of the actual situation: Certain drugs are legal and others are not, because of who is more powerful and who does not hold power at all in the public sphere.

[@pats429]

VERY GOOD LECTURE YOU WILL LEARN!

[@danskey.diquinollo1278]

Thanks for the video ❤️❤️❤️ it really helpful ❤️❤️ for me as a senior student ❤️

[@Spreadlove12380]

Hi I love your videos they helped me a lot gaining insights for different worldviews and various perspectives. Have you made series on philosophy? Or can you just recommend channels that teaches philosophy like crash course standard?

[@electrictoxic80]

Structuralist believes deviant serves a function and it is true, yet it does not explain why such things occur in the first place. Interactionist thinks deviant actions are nurtured and it is also true. A person's upbringing also dictates his/her behavior. However, the theory still does not explain why deviance, or rather, things that we think are deviant, occurs in the first place. Conflict theory, for me, is the only theory that explain why such things occur in the first place. People label other people as a deviance for a really simple reason --- self-interest.

[@lukemerideth7946]

and the strain in strain theory is relative. If I am taught that I deserve what other people have that they work for, then I steal it. I don't deserve what they have, I deserve what I work for.

[@john11719]

Drug use, depending on your status, either a personal problem for rehab or a criminal for jail... yeah, Conflict has it's points this time...

I have to say its more clear than my lecturer in context (but also tone to hear)

[@kookverslaving]

Crash Course geology!

[@jimtuv]

I take issue with Durkheim's premise that because you find deviance in all societies it must serve a purpose. This is an assumption that is not necessary. A more likely reason is simply that variability in behavior comes from variability in human biology. The range of behavior fits a bell curve and the center (norm) would be the largest proportion of the population and the deviants would be those at the ends of the curve. Normal biological variability could completely account for the differences with out needing to ascribe it to a function.

[@Mabasei]

evidence for it being biological?

[@jimtuv]

Seriously you aren't implying your brain isn't biological. Your thoughts and behaviors come from your brain.

[@alecr474]

James Tuvell I can agree with your case that it doesn't need to serve a necessary societal function. that is a problem with people using that sort of survival of the fittest model where some things just don't have a purpose. though, she talked about how deviance is found across the spectrum, even in "normal" biologies which makes me think there is a deeper psychological/sociological reason for deviance.

[@jimtuv]

Yes, there is a spectrum because the societal norms are not fixed. They move with changes in technology, environment, social stress etc... However, I am not asserting that deviancy is only biological, but I am rejecting that it always serves a function in society and that it has a function is why deviance exists in all society.

[@KRIGBERT]

"Normal biological variability could completely account for the differences" - maybe, but that still doesn't explain why it's there. I mean, I don't think ants have as many deviants, so it doesn't seem like that's something that necessarily arises from genetic variance.

[@theotheraccount2734]

it's funny that I got to hear this growing up in WA an CA regularly.But, here in AZ insults only everywhere.

[@theotheraccount2734]

Different cultures for sure.This was not something I only saw happen to me.

[@nerdygirl7383]

So does this mean humans naturally put a label on each other, in other words "us vs them", or is it a product of society created for what ever reason (order, stability, calculation, etc)?

[@klausstefansen8508]

What about " Relative deviance"? By that I mean a person changes habits, personality, behaviour depending on micro-social surroundings that again, are the same person`s choice to conform to what is perceived as acceptable by certain group of people. That would mean that deviance in its moderate state does not really exist. However, extremes, positive and negative, especially negative do exist. Positive deviance is something every human being is taught to strive for while on the other hand negative deviance is something every human being is taught to frown upon, to avoid any action that resembles negative deviance and to stay away from negatively deviant people. There is also a reward system reserved for extremely positive deviance in forms of awe, praises, glory, while on the other hand negative deviance is punished according to the rules of social control. Minor deviance, a non threatening one in any way is "punished" by ridiculing in full capacity", moderate negative deviance is punished by social exclusion, also in full capacity, while extremely negative deviance is punished by prison sentencing depending on a crime a person has committed. Which deviance extreme is more powerful then? Positive or negative? My theory is that it depends on two components, the deviant himself, his/her psychological health to begin with and the social control to use influence of the masses both on micro and macro-social level to help "guide" the result of the deviance towards extremely positive outcome, which then, hopefully, in whatever way benefit the largest macro-social construct, the civilisation itself.

Cool video!

You go girl. Just that fast i got it. thank you lmao

[@gbasek]

This is a really small detail, but I really appreciate you using "across" instead of "between" genders, it's a great small way to acknowledge that there are more than two genders. It's so lovely see the production of new, inclusive educational content.

[@Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time]

Deviance should work together for a better world!

[@brettknoss486]

Does Durkheim’s deviant theory and strain theory work with Schellinger’s segregation model. That is, does segregation define communities, and reduce deviance? Also, does innovation mean criminal or just not normal?

[@crashcourse]

This is the first episode we shot with our new camera, so the color profile is definitely quite a bit different from previous episodes. Ironically, there's actually a lot of saturation and contrast added in post, but the actual footage from the camera is very desaturated, so it still wound up looking like less than previous episodes.

[@thisaccountisdead9060]

This comment is stupid - but here it is (I don't know? - maybe it is genius?): There are 19 possible outcomes to every election contest in the ‘first past the post’ system between political parties (A and B being the biggest parties) democratically voted for by an electorate: Party A wins, Party B looses; Party A looses, Party B wins; Both parties win; Both parties loose; Both parties in a draw; ‘WTF?’ result - that’s 6 outcomes. Perverting ‘winning’ to be ‘loosing’ gives and extra 4 outomes (you can’t pervert a draw and ‘WTF?’ to mean anything else). So that’s 10 outcomes so far. Plus you have the electorate: The parties win and the electorate loose; the parties loose and the electorate win; both the parties and the electorate win; Both the parties and the electorate loose; The parties and the electorate draw; and again ‘WTF?’. So that’s another 6 outcomes = 16. And again perverting ‘winning’ and ‘loosing’ gives you another 4 outcomes as before = 20 outcomes in total. Though technically because ‘WTF?’ only ever has a social context, it is the same in each case - so that’s 19 outcomes…. why does it always have to come back to prime numbers?

[@karissacastano3776]

would aggression in little kids and school bullying be part of conflict theory?

[@calendarcalendar3838]

Straw Man Argument: Culturally defined Goals achieved via Culturally sanctions Means. Work Hard + Education + Follow Rule + Get Money = Success. Those who violate the Social Norms to get the Means (capital) are doing it to achieve sanctioned Goals in a Deviant manner. . . there has GOT to be a getter example than that. How about Power? The poor feel (and are) largely Powerless. Jacking a car beings some cash. . . a weeks worth. . . but the Power of taking someone else's stuff is pretty potent. This is why some (rich & poor) criminals keep being "deviant" in an unhealthy way. . . long after they don't 'need' the money. . . Suppose you're a drug lord. . . have $150,000,000 in the bank. Do you "need" to keep selling drugs to 15 year olds in LA? No. But you do because $151M is more than $150M. It's in their brain, not their bank accounts. The poor steal to survive. But there are those who steal because the want to. Rich or Poor. I knew a City Manager who embezzled $$$ (we don't know how much, he was good at it, but between $150K - $2M). . . but he was already financially 'comfortable' and had no 'need' for the money. . . What was his deal? Hope you guys in the Sociology of Criminality figure this one out. . . I've studied it on-and-off for 30 years. . . nothing you guys Publish ever really makes and any sense. . . and it appears nothing you Publish ever really works. . . I'd love to empty out the Prisons . . . seriously. . . I would. . . about 70% of those Incarcerated would do better OUTSIDE that facility. . .. but you help contribute to them being there. . . and you fail them once they are released.

Thank you! Math is something we have talked a lot about, but it's really tricky for Crash Course to tackle something where application is so essential to learning it. That said, we do plan to do a Statistics course next year and we'll see how that goes! I would also highly recommend checking out PBS Infinite Series if you're looking for good KZbin math content!

I don't think the ritualism part is accurate for strain theory. Isn't it acknowledging the rules, but not considering them important? In contrast with "deep devotion to the rules"

[@TheEmin3mFan2]

Regardless, thanks for the video! I'm prepping for my intro to sociology test

[@Thebadbeaver9]

"...we find that the socially deviant are not necessarily the most dangerous...norms and laws reflect the interests of the powerful, so the powerful can defend their power by labeling as deviant anything that threatens that power." So which is it?? You say deviants are not dangerous i.e. they don't have any power, but then you go on to say deviants are threatening to the most powerful, so they must be labeled deviants. If they are threatening to the most powerful, how do they have no ability to be 'dangerous' to the norms of society??

It doesn’t matter how dirt poor or homeless you are, what makes this country unique is it’s ability to allow opportunity for people in all walks of life to increase their wealth financially. Most of our ancestors came with little to nothing here. If they can do it, so can we. Look for a good full time work, graduate high school, avoid a marriage out of wedlock, ask for help, get educated on finances, get to know people in a job area. Fight by the skin of your teeth. Its not the governments job to poorly redistribute money; It’s up to all of us to look out for our wellbeings, and it does help for us to be charitable to others while doing it. God bless and go in peace.

I'm a little frustrated by these past two videos. Mental illness has now been explained as a way out of deviance. However, for many people, mental illness is what makes them deviant. I understand that in the context of this video, mental illness is still deviant, but I'm frustrated that mental illness isn't addressed as a form of deviance that is neither desirable nor undesirable, but simply fact.
