As I run through my Sociology notes in preparation for the finals, my heart stopped at the topic I was supposed to "specialize" in: Deviance. A definition where it is a violation of norms. When an aborigine comes to a modern world full of skyscrapers, wearing almost nothing but a towel, and looking around in disbelief, he is a deviant. But to put a well-suited man equipped with a briefcase in a desert or a community where everyone has colours on their face, wearing nothing, and practically, being "uncivilised", this "civilised" being is a deviant.
If that is the case, anyone who did something wrong and abnormal is a deviant. But some actions of deviance are slowly growing into a norm. A very good example will be the homosexuality that had been around here. Even though our country had proudly announce they will not tolerate any sign of abnormality of sexuality here, it has never stop the people who feel differently than the others. Lesbians and gays, they are people too. They have feelings for their respective partners. I myself do not think that someone who is a homosexual is weird. I think homosexuals are suffering, wanting to be in a status that is the same as others, but also retaining their own identity as a gay or a lesbian. I can only support them because like I said, they are part of being with us here in Earth.
I guess everyone breaks rules. No one is left pure and not breaking any of them. Some might be small, like breaking the rules of schools, homes, family etc. But some broke the rule of humanity, where they break the rules of old traditions, like those Africans who are now divided into two communities: One still preserve and practise the traditional culture, and one who had received and accepted the teachings of human rights and stopping these actions. No one here is good nor evil. They are just going on with their life. It is just other people's perception whether do they agree with the actions.
For instance, if the practise of sacrifice is accepted by all communities, including the child that is going to be sacrificed, they can continue the practise that. However, if those folks think that this is injustice, then prove to them and bring them to face the law. This is the exact same thing that applies to those who were in the homosexual community. IF the whole community accepts homosexuals, just be happy doing so. And breaking the rules? Heck, they MAKE rules for the homosexuals to get married.
And, now, I have nothing more to say. Sorry if this is a short post, but I guess that people appreciate me for posting short blog posts.
Thanks and good day.

Definitely agree what you say.
Everyone breaks rules before.
'If you want to hit someone who break rule with stone, make sure that you never breaks any rules before.'
