DESCRIPTION:
A topic included in Deviance is called Differential Association
Theory, which means that people tend to exhibit more deviant-like behaviour
when their group of peers or associates are in favor of performing deviant
behaviour (Sutherland). In this meme, a critique upon the actions of peers to
invite others in dangerous activities such as doing drugs has been made. In the
Philippines, according to a study conducted by the National Institute of Drug
Abuse (NIDA), there has been a rise in Methamphetamine use in the Philippines
since the 1980s and that 14% of users use because of drug influence (Estacio
Jr.). This meme encapsulates the process of how teens are persuaded to join in
deviant behaviour such as drug use for fear of being an outcast of the group,
which is exaggerated by the panel of being kicked out of the building for
refusing to join.

DESCRIPTION:
Corruption is a prevalent problem in the Philippines even under the
current administration (Mourdoukoutas). Despite all the charges against certain
senators such as Bong Revilla who has a plunder case against him, they still
opted to run and have won as senators of the Philippines (Evangelista). Under
the topic of social conflict in deviance, social conflict theory is the struggle
between the rich and the poor and how they are treated differently for their
deviances (Lumen). In the meme, one side of meme presents how the poor are
criminalized for something as low as stealing fruit to eat while the rich
politicians get away with even running for positions despite having been
charged as criminals.

MEME 3:

DESCRIPTION:
In understanding the concept of deviance, it basically revolves
around the violation of norms. For this meme, I based the concept on the idea
that inventors could also be seen to be deviant because their creations are not
always seen as something normal at first glance or at its first release to the
public. This then creates a tension to the person whether to choose to be
socially accepted by people and not bother to become creative and invent
something new or be able to create something that the society could really
benefit from, not necessarily the cure to cancer. However, there is a
possibility that people may judge you and see you as someone different or even
treat you differently because of your “unusual” inventions.

DESCRIPTION:
In truth, everyone has this certain tendency to form labels which in
turn leads to the concept of a stigma, whether intentionally or not. In this
meme, the concept here is that athletes are immediately attached to the idea
they cannot do well in school which is why they are into sport. The specific behavior of not being
academically competent is attributed to those inclined into sport, even if it
does not really speak of the truth. This label may then lead to a change in the
person’s self - esteem or a stigma.

DESCRIPTION:
Rape or other kinds of sexual assault are not issues to be taken
lightly. In fact, according to a report by Preen, the Center for Women
Resources says that one child or woman is raped every 62 minutes and this is
alarming to say the least (Del Rio). It may be inevitable that the people who
are caught committing rape will be labeled as rapists, which is an example of
informal control and it is important that the people who commit rape be caught
and be sanctioned accordingly through formal controls such as imprisonment and
the filing of cases against the perpetrator. However, it is more important to
practice and encourage control or internalization of the norms present in
society in order to better discern one’s actions and avoid committing such
acts.

MEME 6:

DESCRIPTION:
Students cheat for a variety of reasons but the most common reason
for this is that they simply do not want to fail (“5 Reasons Why Students Cheat.”). As students ourselves,
there are also instances when we feel the urge to not study well and just
resort to cheating. This is the case because in our mind, the effort we exert
and time we at times to study is not really rewarded well so we might as well
cheat. When we are given the proper incentives for following norms, the more
likely that we are to conform to it but if we are not really rewarded well,
there is a higher chance for us to deviate from the norm since we are not
incentivized well (“What Is Deterrence Theory?”).

DESCRIPTION:
Kleptomania is a disorder where people can not
help but have urges to steal even random objects that don’t have much value
(Mayo Clinic). A lot of people who aren’t really kleptomaniacs claim to be one
and use it as an excuse to steal, when in reality, they are just plain thieves.
Because it is recognized as a medical disorder, thieves can get away with
stealing and bystanders are just expected to accept that they are sick.
Therefore they are able to continue to do deviant activities that are
non-normative and morally condemned.

MEME 8:

DESCRIPTION:
The general view of older
generations on teenagers today is that they are lazy (Malcolm). A lot of times,
teenagers are scolded by their parents and end up being labelled as “walang
kwenta” or good for nothing. This label becomes attached to the teen. Because
of the label, the teen will even continue the deviant act of being lazy. At
times, the response to being called lazy is to be even more lazy in order to
spite parents even more.

DESCRIPTION:
There have been 33000 cases of measles for this year alone, the most
since 2004 (Beaubien). One of the biggest reasons why measles has once again
spread is the distrust of vaccines, more commonly known as the anti-vax
movement. In the Philippine context, the reason for this movement is the
Dengvaxia scandal of 2016 that still affects the consciousness of Filipinos
today wherein the failure and subsequent deaths caused by the Dengvaxia
injections have made a section of Filipinos distrustful of any vaccine
(Beaubien). Even in places with anti-vax movements such as the United States,
vaccines are still the norm in helping children fend off curable diseases such
as measles (Borter), as it is a rule of conduct that parents give their
children the best available medicine, which are vaccines.

DESCRIPTION:
Differential
Association Theory may be seen in the use of drugs. People who have friends
that use drugs and encourage them are more likely to be users. This is because
they have a friend group that enables them to perform the deviant behavior
(Dull). Furthermore, another study concludes that peer association and
marijuana use have a direct correlation with each other, suggesting that the
influence of peers has an effect on one’s own inclination to use illegal drugs
(Orcutt).
