What is the violation of social norms called?
The act of violating a social norm is called deviance. Individuals usually have a much easier time identifying the transgression of norms than the norms themselves.
How do sociologists define deviance?
Deviance or the sociology of deviance explores the actions and/or behaviors that violate social norms across formally enacted rules (e.g., crime) as well as informal violations of social norms (e.g., rejecting folkways and mores).
What term refers to the act of not following social norms?
Deviance is defined as "nonconformity to a set of norms that are accepted by a significant number of people in a community or society." More simply put, if group members do not follow a norm, they become labeled as a deviant.
Is the term for any behavior belief or condition that violates significant social norms in the society or group in which it occurs?
Deviance is any behavior, belief, or condition that violates significant social norms in the society or group in which it occurs.
