 Classification as Deviant Identify an act that is currently deviant and explain how or why it is deviant. Describe the history of the behavior and the historical reactions to this act. What are the reactions or sanctions to this act that currently exist? What are the arguments in favor of the behavior remaining deviant?

Reclassification as Non-Deviant Provide arguments for why the deviant behavior should be reclassified as non-deviant. What are the arguments in favor of the behavior no longer being considered deviant? What are the manifest and latent functions (anticipated and unanticipated outcomes) that may occur socially or culturally?

 The paper should be objective in nature, as sociology is a value-free science. Personal opinions, comments, and beliefs should be reserved for the reflection paper
