Deviance is defined as any act, belief or action that results in the disapproval of any members of society. Much of the scorn that people face in society today is a result of situational deviance(that which is regarded as regular in one community may be considered deviant in another). It is because of situational deviance that literally every person could be labeled a deviant by some.
With so many different value and belief systems occurring simultaneously throughout the planet, systems that often conflict with one another, it is impossible for anyone to be considered "normal" in every society on earth. Take this example: a member of a street gang assisting in an armed robbery with fellow gang members. This act is seen as deviant within most cultures and organizations throughout the planet, but fellow criminals or members of the gang may scorn those who do NOT participate in such acts, as they are viewed as cowards or fools. This proves that regardless of how a person acts or what beliefs they hold they are destined to face scorn from some members of the population, which makes everyone deviant to some extent.
You might be asking why: if everyone is considered deviant to some extent, only a small portion of the population is punished by the law. Many times laws reflect the values of the majority of a population. This means that as long as an act is considered to be acceptable by most of the local population, this will most likely be reflected in the laws of the community. This is not always the case, as sometimes laws are simply reflective of the values of those in power and do not reflect the beliefs of the majority of the population(euthanasia and homosexual marriage are two controversial laws).
This is not to say that all acts that are deemed deviant are criminal. Many non-criminal acts are considered by many to be deviant, while some acts that are against the law may be seen as legitimate by a majority of society. Many people view the legal activity of purchasing pornography as deviant, while many more consider mercy killing(or euthanasia)to be acceptable or even commendable despite the fact that this act is often illegal. Virtually every human being on the face of the earth has been scorned or stigmatized at one point or another. This is simply the result of an ever changing, diverse, and multicultural planet, and it is humanity’s beliefs and values that separate the human race from other animals.
The example of euthanasia shows that ______.
选项
A、a law may fail to reflect the values of the majority
B、a legal act may well be unacceptable to most people
C、euthanasia is inconsistent with homosexual marriage
D、an illegal act is probably both rational and acceptable
答案
A
解析
根据第四段中的“many more consider mercy killing(or euthanasia)to be acceptable or evencommendable despite the fact that this act is often illegal”,即:实施安乐死违法,但很多人认为可以接受安乐死,可知,法律不见得完全反映大多数人的价值观。所以,A应为答案。
