You will identify a social problem pertaining to deviance (substance dependency, racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, bullying, crime, etc.) and describe why the problem is defined as deviant and the differential impact the definition has on various groups. Hint: The deviance is not always what causes harm, sometimes the stigma attached to deviance or how deviance is interpreted in relation to other systems of inequality does. You will also use one sociological paradigm/perspective (conflict theory) to guide your research/explanation.
