Deviance and Social Control

Write a 700 word essay on ONE of the questions below

Sociology matters because it explains why you accept certain social norms almost without thinking—and why you pay a price if you break those norms.

• What social norms were you expected to conform to when you became a student at your college or university? Are they similar to or different from the norms you grew up with?
• What happens to students who do not conform to accepted social norms? Is social control on your campus stricter or more lenient than social control in other parts of society?
• Is crime a problem on your campus? If so, what social forces might underlie it?
