Social Order, Social Control, and Social Deviance
By Chris Rao on 5/5/2006
(1) Social order is established through Culture and social structure. Cultural beliefs, values, and norms control people’s action. Culture act as the guiding path for people to act. This kind of guiding force is also called mechanical solidarity. Individuals are linked through families, groups, organizations. They follow the written and unwritten rules in the families, groups, and organizations. This kind of binding force in society is called organic solidarity. (2) Social order depends on working institutions. Institutions are established patterns for people to solve social problems. Education serves as a need for corporations and individuals. In one side, corporations need educated people. On the other side, most individuals need to compete for better jobs in corporations. Education as an institution put the needs of corporations and individuals together. If the education system works well, the society for workers and employers are happy. (3) Social order depends on socialization. Culture, structures, institutions are changing over time. These social patterns can not work by themselves. They can function because individuals are agents for these social patterns. Via individuals, the relationships between institutions can function on a continual basis. (4) Loyalty to organization is the foundation for social orders. Being faithful to family, groups and organization make these patterns stable. If individuals are not loyal to their families, groups, organizations, then these organizations can not function well. (5) Social controls contribute to social order. Parents tell kids what to do is a way of social control. Without this kind of controls, kids would not be able to develop well or survive well.
Social deviance is the behavior not within certain bounds of normal social behaviors. But these bounds can change over time. Gay marriage was a social deviance for a long time. Now, many states are accepted in many states.
Social deviance is created by people think the current social boundaries such as norms are not suited for their happiness. Prostitution is one of the old industries in the world. In most states prostitution is illegal. However, for some people, they may not have other ways to support their happiness such as making enough money to raise their kids. So the prostitution exists for as long as there are people who can not get their means of living in other professions.
