Vicious Circle

This article isnt that completly surprising to me. The different drug distribution, in my opinion is kind of stereotypical. How white men are doing heroine and cocaine and african americans do more smoking of marijuana. And how the minorities act, it is secondary deiviance, becuase they always seem to keep doing drugs, and knowing the consequences, keep doing it. The prison system for it all, seems like the right thing to do. By moving juveniles to an "adult" prison teaches them a bigger lesson. By them going to a bigger more scary prison it would teach them more of a lesson to hopefully make their next choice a sense of primary deviance.

New Moment

All of a sudden I found myself thinking sociologically when I was driving home with my mom and we saw a man walking on the sidewalk. But the thing is, he wasn't dressed in a normal attire. He was dressed in an orange jumpsuit which me and mom immediately think, he is an ex-con! In our minds he was dressed in a deviant way. And at the same time he was breaking a folkway. Most people do not just dress in an orange jumpsuit for their morning walk but he did. It isn't wrong for him to dress this way but he did and he didn't seem to care. He could be seen as a part of the Strain theory because he was norm less in he apparel and he was ok with it.
