person would be considered to be acting deviantly in society if they are violating what the
             significant social norm in that particular culture is. What causes humans to act certain ways is a
             disputed topic among researchers for some time now. There are three types of researchers that have
             tried to answer this question. There is the psychological answer, biological answer, and the
             sociological answer. With all of the studies that have been performed, no one group has come up
             with an exact reason to why people behave deviantly. Although, sociologists' theories have not
             been disproved as often as the psychologists' and biologists' theories because their experiments
             are too hard to define and no one definition for deviance is agreed upon by all experimenters
             (Pfuhl, 40). My own curiosity to find out what the influences are behind deviant behavior is the
             purpose for this paper. We have already discussed this topic during class in part two, chapter four
             of the textbook which explains deviance and crime. This section talks more about deviance being a
             learned behavior. I wanted to find out more information to see if biological factors are also behind
             this kind of behavior. The most knowledge acquired for why people act deviantly is from the
             sociological perspective. There is need for more research, if possible, in the psychological and
             biological perspectives, but there is a lot more known in the sociological viewpoint. The reality that
