Punishable deviance is a social construct but it is mainly controlled by the government in charge of punishment. Unless its a government less in control or more lenient on non serious crimes then it will always be a social construct among all societies. It is very difficult to regulate punishable deviance. It all comes down to the beliefs that are shared within the people in power of making those laws. Our punishment/penitentiary system shows us that we are hippo critical of what "health" really means to our citizens, we are also paranoid of our own citizens since we lock up a majority for non violent crimes, and we enjoy creating an everlasting problem since we don't feel the need to rehabilitate those criminals that we put in a really long "time out" and talk to them so they understand what they did wrong and how they're going to do better next time. Sadly the people that are being put in jail are the poorest of the nation too. A lot of their criminal actions are out of desperation since jobs with minimum wage aren't enough to support the minimal existence of life.

I have the same answer to fix the problem-------- Riot haha

gender differences in socialization is definitely a major factor in how everyone grows up.

if there weren't different genders to factor in to socialization then socialization loses a lot of its dynamic. Its because of the two separate, but similar, socialization patterns- guys tend to be way more competitive, but girls do more communicating over all. Just imagine if those two gender socialization differences were switched and boys talked as much as girls and girls were in your face competitive, it would bring a totally different society. The presence of stereotypes like this mold marketing that had been present my whole childhood. One instance of me facing the gender differences was with a toy stroller buggy and my stuffed animals. I had a pink plastic stroller only because they didn't make strollers in any other color, and i wanted to wheel around my stuffed animals as fat as possible down the hall way. So sort of ironic that i was being a crazy boy running and going as fast as possible, while still taking care of my stuffed animals and being the proud owner of a pink stroller buggy.

The children who won't grow up Peter Pan-demonium, kidults, boomerang kids.... A sociologist examines the phenomenon of lost boys and girls hanging out on the edge of adulthood.

The socialization process for children now is different than previous generations because of the advancement of technology and media. The media has evolved to be better at hooking children in to new TV shows, new toys, and to act older than they are. Media allows children to mimic it and the media has become too grown up, because of this children are losing their innocence earlier and earlier, this can be seen 100% in how girls clothing has changed and reached out to younger girls too. Because of the girls trying to mature faster the boys take the heat for having to try and catch up and they are so involved with their online video games they don't even want to leave the house and socialize at all! These are not concerns to me personally, because i feel that it is each individual persons obligation to decide how they want to deal with the ever changing environment of society. Some may say well what if i had a kid then what would i think, well i wouldn't have a TV on in the house- or online video games and i would be more inclined to veer away from new technology and allow my own kid to try and adapt to the society on their own.

Adolescent social status is one of the only things teens and younger kids have control over. Human beings naturally try to control aspects of their lives so it makes sense that when a person is young, and the only thing they can control is social status, that they would be obsessively consumed by that aspect of life. It is also important because social status is what defines you when your in a school environment. Even on top of that social status is a indicator of how many people like you and a lot of kids care highly about who does and doesn't like them.

nature and nurture are the two most influential aspects of growing up and becoming your own person. My nurture is mirrored through what i want to do and what i wear because i seem to mimic my dad a lot. My experiences, my nature, has formed my personality and how i handle any given situation. My nurture makes me mellow and calm and my nature is aggressive and ambitious. These balance each other out and keep me well rounded as an individual. That is the magic of having nature and nurture, they effect each other and your personality develops through nurture and experience.
