Name of Assignment: Deviance Essay
Subject: Sociology Facilitator/Teacher: Professor LeGare In this essay I talked about deviance in the pandemic. I was supposed to talk about deviance in Covid-19. We also had to refer to our Sociology textbooks and write about what they said in the book. We had to specify and talk about personal experiences as well. The class before this essay was assigned caught my attention because I thought this topic was interesting. I talked about how a lot of the things we thought were normal is now an act of deviance. For example, forgetting a mask in a public place. Before the pandemic we didn't need masks and we didn't need to stay six feet apart from one another. When writing this essay I realized that a lot of our norms were taken away. A lot of our daily lives are completely different. I think this essay helped me understand the virus and how important it is for us to keep our masks on, stay 6 feet, etc. I knew that that was normal before but now even more so. I think for the future, this essay could help me remind people the importance of masks etc. Because I work at a restaurant I see a lot of people entering without a mask and my co workers always have to ask for them to put it on. I am proud to have been able to get this assignment done relatively fast. I used my time wisely and made sure to double check for any errors. I struggled to stay on topic because I tended to over explain about one thing and trail off. But it all worked out. For my skills I used global awareness and interpersonal skills because this pandemic is affecting everyone on our planet. We all need to make sure that we are working as a team to stop this virus from spreading faster. |
