Sociology last weeks dievence

This past week in sociology we learned about positive and negative deviance. We also had to do a positive deviance for someone. My positive deviance was when Brian got his car stuck one morning. I told him at noon that I would push him out. He was thankful. We also watched a clip over "snackman" this man broke up a fight in a underground subway rail system. He saw the two people fighting and all he did was stand in the middle of the people share and eat his chips. The fight then was dissolved and everyone then minded their own business after snackman stepped in. This is also a positive deviance because he did not have to step in and stop this fight. He could have been a bystander like everyone else. People like this man are great in the society because of their helpful decisions to help a person out in their community. Julio Diaz was robbed by a teenager on the subway. After that he convinced the kid to go to dinner with him. He was nice to the kid and probably changed that kids life forever. Positive deviances are the best thing ever.
