Freaks and Geeks

A few days ago we watched another episode of Freaks and Geeks. Without a doubt, the main issue regarding Deviance was the way the bully put peanuts in Billy's sandwich. During their lunch break, the bully placed peanuts in Billy's sandwich which was very deviant, because it ended up sending Billy to the hospital. What was especially deviant about this is what happened after. The bully explained his whole story and why he treated Billy and his friends like that. That was also deviant of the bully because he was stepping out of the shoes he normally fills and becoming humble. This relates to sociology because it really shows how deviance can happen in the school system, and how different people react to it, whether they are bullying or being bullied.

  1. I agree that we see deviance in school all the time. Bullies, like people that call the cops on other people for absolutely no reason, are a great example of deviance as they break societal norms.
