3.Example during the teenage years or adolescence most of the boys(male) start to practice
drinking alcohol to prove that they are included in a particular group and that they are able to
adjust. And because of these many teenagers are involved in many deviant behaviors because
of a social influence from the people or friends around them. Such as rape, murder and assault
or alcohol dependence. On the other side most of the male teenagers are still observing formal
sanction based on their parents’ approval and celebration. Therefore, this kind of behavior is
upon the person’s control.
4.Most like people will react to this kind of behavior by judging the person base on the actions
the he shows if he is committing undesirable and unaccepted acts that are beyond the rule. I
will feel afraid and cautious after seeing a drunk person jump to a conclusion that maybe this
person is an alcoholic without knowing the true reason why this person is drunk. I think
reactions are not justified because just like what I have mention we don’t know the specific
reason why the person is drunk.
