DEFINING DEVIANCY: ESSAY ASSIGNMENT

Overview 

This assignment focuses on the concept of deviancy in culture, with a specific emphasis on the concepts of deviancy up and deviancy down. These concepts, applied to current day by the late Senator Patrick Moynihan and scholar Charles Krauthammer, explore the phenomenon of cultural shifts in accepted norms to conform to modern society.

Instructions 

You will prepare a 3–4-page essay (not including title page or references) on the topic of “What is Deviancy?” You must address the concepts (from the Reading & Study material) of “Defining Deviancy Up” and “Defining Deviancy Down,” and then apply the concepts to a particular area of social and moral erosion in America. You must integrate biblical precepts that provide guidelines for maintaining an objective “true north” when our culture continues to subjectively redefine what is right and what is wrong, what is moral and what is immoral, and what is deviant and what is not.

The final essay must include 3–4 resources in addition to course text, videos, and Bible. Choose your sources judiciously, aimed at providing breadth and depth in support of your thesis and discussion. Your paper must conform to APA standards.

Remember to review Student Expectations. You are writing, not merely for a grade, but for the benefit of your entire class. Put your best effort into your research and your writing.
