Blog Review on Justin Bieber

I’m going to use chapter 9 on “to affect the odds of being incarcerated for using drugs” and compared it with Justin Bieber arrest. Deviance is a recognized violation of the cultural norms well crime is a violation of society formally enacted criminal law. Everyday someone commit deviance or a crime but those that stand out the most are celebrity crimes and deviance. We target celebrities the most because they life style is being which 24/7 and one sip up can turn majority of their fans against them and they could lose everything. Individual look up to celebrities as role models and parents expect celebrities to be prefect and set good example for the public.  In an article on Huffington post about Justin Bieber show deviance and crimes he has commit and how awful he setting an example for the youth population and the pop culture in the United State. Bieber charges was arrested on DUI and drag racing charges which both is illegal and on top that he is only 19 of age. The right thing about this article is that it states one of Durkheim’s basic insight “Responding to deviance brings people together.”  Over 100,000 citizens signed a petition to get Bieber deported back to Canada and have his green card revoke.  In the article it stated “He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nation’s youth”.  I feel that Bieber is setting a bad example for youth and need to realize that he is setting a bad example for those immigrants that are in the United State. And just because Bieber is famous he is less likely to get deported back to Canada then infamous immigrants in the United State can deported  if they commit or get convicted of a crime. I always think it is right how society is using social control which is an attempt by society to regulate people’s thoughts and behavior. But I do find something wrong about this article that deviance and crimes are committed everyday but they tried to address the White House in trying to get Bieber green card revoke. I feel people are using the Labeling Theory that is an idea that deviance and conformity result not so much from what people do as from how others respond to those actions.  Individual are making Bieber arrest a hug things when there are plenty of different celebrities doing the same things Bieber doing or maybe worst.  Bieber case is a symbolic interaction theory which deviance is an individual deviant. These are Bieber problems and his life, we should let the court system do its job and give Bieber his consequences.  And “People become deviant as others define them that way” I have feeling everyone committed some type of crime that violate the cultural norms. For example if you ever disobeyed your parents you could be classified as problem child or if you talk to yourself, you can also be classified as if you have mental ills. It doesn't matter how small or big the crime or the deviance the people commit, nobody is perfect.
