Writing Homework Help

I’m working on a psychology question and need an explanation to help me learn.

Discuss the definition of deviance as related to cultural variation.

• Give examples of how certain acts in the United States are considered deviant by other cultures, and conversely what acts we might consider deviant, even though they are considered normal in other cultures.
• What standards do we use to judge if other cultures are practicing deviant acts? You may want to bring in the concepts of ethnocentrism and cultural relativism.
• If you were visiting these cultures would you be able to participate in acceptable acts there, even if they are not acceptable here? In other words – should we follow the old cliche, “When in Rome…”?
