Look up Merton's theory and chart. Realize that there were flaws in it and numerous criticisms of it. But study the five categories he presents and understand them. Then try to see where you might fit in. Also understand that one may change degrees of conforming and deviating throughout a lifetime, as I have in my own life. Write down your understanding of this. Then describe where you find yourself these days within its structure. Also understand that many others believe that deviance is not always negative, nor is conformity always positive. After all, prophets like Jesus, Muhammad, Martin Luther King, and Malcolm X were deviants. If you did not watch the CNN Special on the Jan 6th Insurrection last evening (Sunday, June 20), try to find it online and watch it and/or read articles about it. Give your thoughts on it. This was a long analysis of the deviating behavior on that day. But from another point of view, it was conformity with the change. What are your thoughts? Submit your work by June 27th.
