Deviance acts are acts that go against the norms in a society, for example: crime, robbery, rape, assault, murder. Americans today recognize actions such public nudity, pyromania, extreme gambling, alcoholism, lying, unhygienic, prostitution, stealing, and cross dressing as deviant or people acting upon deviant behavior.

For many teachers, the following scene may sound all too familiar: on the day a major assignment is due, students enter the classroom in a flurry, toting half unzipped backpacks and the invisible weight of the emotional, social, and personal baggage that all people, particularly teenagers, must balance along with life’s many other requirements—in this case, a dreaded non-fiction reading comprehension task. Some students immediately sit down and hurriedly press pencil to paper, capitalizing on…
achievement levels in order to learn from one another and achieve one main goal, to be successful in reading and writing. Instructors are provided with daily 90-minute lessons of direct instruction and group work that focus on story-related activities, explicit instruction, and the integration of language arts and writing throughout the lesson (What Works Clearinghouse, 2012).

A peasant and his daughter were poor with no land, so they went to the King to beg him for land, granting…
that one can unconsciously link a person to the stereotypes of the groups in which they belong, such as race, age, and gender, which impacts how one perceives and treats that individual (Fridell & Lim, 2016). Implicit bias and explicit bias are not mutually exclusive, for explicit bias refers to being “consciously aware” of discriminatory profiling thoughts and behavior (Ross, 2018, pp. 1-2).
