Labelling theory

For this assignment, you will use your sociological imagination with a focus on labelling theory to write a journal entry about perceptions of deviance in society and how those perceptions change over time and vary across cultures.

Using labeling theory, describe a behavior that might have been labeled by society as deviant in the past but is now considered acceptable or even courageous.
Explain why the behavior was deemed deviant and why the perception has changed.
Describe if you or someone you know has ever participated in a deviant act OR describe in what type of situation you might find it acceptable for someone to do something that might be perceived as deviant.
