B. Find a subculture on the web that engages in deviant behavior. What makes their behavior deviant, describe in detail? What social norms are being broken?
C. How do positive and negative social sanctions act as a social control. Give an example.
D. Label and describe Merton's Strain Theory and give an example of each label from popular culture.
E. Provide an example of a subculture that engages in group behavior within mainstream society. For instance, Bats Day at Disneyland isn't an official sanctioned Disneyland Day, however members of the Gothic subculture organize themselves and visit the amusement park in large groups.
