Deviance is any behaviour that defies the norms and values of society, e.g. Swearing in public or Pushing in queues. Social Norms are types of behaviour that most obedient members of society follow, the unwritten rules that teach us how to display the ideal behaviour in a social or culture.

In reality this could be applied to ex offenders, are often stereotyped as criminals in normal society which instantly associates the individual to doing wrong.…

According to Lawrence Kohlberg there are also multiple stages of the moral reasoning involved in this line of thinking; the Preconventional stage, the Conventional stage, and the Postconventional stage. During the preconventional stage is said to be at the point of middle childhood where a child’s moral reasoning is based upon being obedient to avoid being punished. During the conventional stage, the child is at the end of their middle childhood phase and beginning to understand the overall moral and behavioral expectations of their parents and society around them. The postconventional stage is said to be reached during early adulthood. By this point young adults can typically surpass their parents’ and friends’ perceptions and develop their own true values of laws and the social system.…

We don’t realize that we are making these judgments, but based on statistics, most Americans would describe “suspicious characters” as “dark and foreign-looking”. We as Americans treat stereotypes similar to gossip. We spread stereotypes around the country and world and plant prejudices in people’s heads.…

Moral Development Deljuan J. Hankerson Indiana Wesleyan University Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development The six different stages of Lawrence Kohlberg's moral development is categorized into three levels: pre conventional morality, conventional morality and post conventional morality. In his opinion He believes that in children more commonly will have a pre conventional level of moral reasoning than any adults would.
