Deviance

In sociology last week we read an article about Saints and Roughnecks. This article was about two different groups of kids that were viewed differently in their own society. Depending on the way these boys were viewed determined their outcome. For example the saints were viewed as good kids and that let them have better outcomes. While the roughnecks were viewed as trouble making kids with no future. While both these groups practicly did the same amount of trouble making. Their access to money led to the way they were viewed in their communities.

Here in Stevenson high school this is also a factor, but there seem to be more opportunities for those types. People seem to treat others according to their money supply, this judgement affects the way people turn out. Meaning if someone is viewed as roughneck in a sense than they are viewed as turning out as a nobody.
