deviant acts in society
In modern day society, people have yet to overcome the primal fear of what is different or not a norm. This cause a great controversy over deviant acts such as abortion, capital punishment, suicide, premarital sex, and drug use. Deviance is defined as the violation of rules or norms. The result of being apart of a close-minded society causes the deviancies to be inherently wrong in many people's opinions. While on a different level these acts can bring about positive aspects to our society. First off, abortion to many people is moral wrong, some go as far as to say murder. We have all heard the excuse that a woman's body is hers to do as she pleases, but what about looking at abortion from an economical point of view.

Drug usage, at least until our government regulates it, has a major downside to it. As a society we must strive to better ourselves and learn to understand what we do not know, instead of merely judging them. Non the less there is always the argument of when is the fetus alive.
