Deviance

I always knew what deviant behavior was but was shocked to find out it included a lot more things than I would have thought.  I related deviant behavior to criminal activity.  i was surprised to learn that it could include bottle feeding over breast feeding.  After pondering that piece of new information it kind of made sense to me because when I had my children the nurses always pushed for me to try breast feeding and kind of looked at me funny when I said  I had no interest in attempting to do that at all.
I also know that many people in society view smoking as deviant behavior because it is something we are taught is bad for us.  It also reminded me of a time when I was smoking outside during my work break and a woman walked by and asked me why I would smoke where people walked by.
I guess it is a matter of personal choice what one would consider to be deviant.  I have read some books and stories about laws in the United States and it is astounding as to the types of things that were considered deviant and criminal in prior years.  I am wondering when society will change their views on many things and accept them as the norm.  I also think that as the times have changed that the laws need to change to represent the current societal views and not those in grained in us from a time where we were not even born.
