Answer the following questions in paragraph forms, giving at least 3 details/examples for each how is deviance good for society? how is deviance bad for society?

Deviance is useful for a society because it performs a variety of functions for society.  It helps to clarify norms, it helps to unify groups, it helps to diffuse tension, and it helps to promote social change. For example once women participation in public spaces in society was deviance, but Now its norm. Similarly, martin Luther king at his time was a deviant but he gained following and eventually, once the following caught speed. It became widely accepted. It also provides jobs to police, emergency services, the courts, lawyers, government agencies. Society is set up to profit from both success and failure.

Deviance is any behavior that violates social norms, and is usually of sufficient severity to warrant disapproval from the majority of society. Activities such as alcoholism, excessive gambling, being naked in public places, playing with fire, stealing, lying, refusing to bathe, purchasing the services of prostitutes, and cross‐dressing—to name only a few—as deviant. 

Like many students at university, you may be unhappy about the results you attain in exams. you may feel that even with all you are doing there must be something more -- or different-- you could be doing to get better grades. we have all at some time or other heard of that student who only studies a couple of hours for final exams and scores a's every time. we stand in awe of those who seem to breeze through without undue effort and seem to need very little in the way of studying to nail an exam. the reasons for success, in what i think are the vast majority of cases, are less esoteric than many students think: successful students consistently apply a series of productive strategies with view to attaining clearly identified learning and grade goals throughout the academic term.
