Part II – Application of theory: Using any available news resources, locate three recent news articles which illustrate an individual or a group that would be considered as deviant by some element of mainstream society. For each article, provide a brief description of the deviant group, and then a basic explanation as to why they are considered deviant in modern society. Then, choose one of the groups you identified and do a “deep dive” on them to learn more. You should independently identify two more articles and one non-text resource (news clip/documentary/podcast/etc…) and use what you found to answer the following: 1.) How do these individuals exist in mainstream society? 2.) What types of formal/informal sanctions do they face? 3. )Briefly analyze this group from one of the three sociological perspectives.
