Deviances are those conditions that society disapproves of and calls offensive (Clinard & Meir, 2016). Society has norms and rules, and they expect every human being to follow those blindly. However, willingly or unwillingly, people move away from social norms and behave differently. These acts are tagged as deviant behavior, even though all are not. My topic for the final project is 'Obesity', and my working title is: “Obesity As A Non-Deviant Act”. Goode and Vail in Extreme Deviance, 2008 characterize obesity as deviant behaviour (Pieterman, 2015).
