Do you consider illegal downloading of music, movies, and readings deviant? If so, what makes it deviant or not deviant?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may vary. The student should include an argument supported with the fact that it is deviant according to the law and subject to formal punishment. Whether or not the student says yes or no, their personal opinion is irrelevant. This question is to gauge whether or not the student understands deviance is something that can be prevalent by younger and hidden populations, yet deviant by law regardless of a lack of consensus.
