A long time ago, I learned that there are some places where it is illegal to drink on the beach. I had no idea about this especially because you see it in films, TV, and even in advertisements people drinking on the beach. I assume that the reason why some places it's illegal to drink is due to safety in the water as well as water sports and also littering on the beach

There is a time and place when you could be using your cellular device to be sending text messages. When you are the driver of a vehicle you should not be texting while driving. This distracts the driver since they are paying attention to sending a text instead of the road in front of them.

In the United States people put a piece of gum in their mouths to have fresh breath everyday without thinking of it. But chewing gum in Singapore is banned due to gum being on pavements and train doors. If they find someone selling or chewing gum they will get a fine.

Most of us when walking around we see people holding hand, kissing, hugging, and showing affection out in public to their loved ones. However, in Dubai this is actually illegal. In fact it is also illegal to wear clothing that show shoulders and anything about the knee

In Denmark and other parts of Europe it is perfectly fine to leave your infant in their pram (stroller) unattended (whether they are sleeping or awake) while the parents dine at a café or shop in a local store.  European parents think it is essential for health and hearty development and it is common practice overseas.

As you can imagine, this practice is not received well in the U.S. Actually, there was a European couple visiting the US who were arrested for leaving their child outside a restaurant while they ate.

What is deemed perfectly normal in Europe is considered deviant behavior in the U.S. Of course, the safety that a child may have in their small European towns does not exist in the U.S and parents may be unaware of this when they visit. An American mother would (or should) never allow her child to be out of arms reach. It is just unheard of here.

When we are in the privacy of our own homes we can do what we want, like fart. Being out in public though and farting you will get odd looks and people wont want to stand near you. Although everyone farts and poops it is not normal to just break wind in the middle of a restaurant or a grocery store.

Here in the US most foods that you eat you use utensils. This is a normal thing people do. People even use utensils when they eat pizza or wings, I have witnessed it first hand. In other countries, normally in the middle east they use there hands for every meal. This is normal for them, because of the type of food they eat. When we Americans see this we stare awkwardly because it isn't our custom to use our hands to eat every type of meal.

As many of us know, America went through a period of Prohibition where it was illegal to produce and/or consume alcoholic products and beverages.  Even though it is no longer illegal, there is still a stigma around too much alcoholic consumption or consuming it during certain times of the day.  There are many employers who forbid their employees to consume alcohol on their lunch breaks even though they are not on company time.  However, in many European and Latin countries, wine and other spirits are commonly consumed and are even served to prisoners.

Weirdly enough, in Singapore it is considered deviant to chew gum! It was made illegal to chew gum in Singapore (unless for dental or health related [nicotine gum]) in hopes to keep the country clean and seem like the citizens had good behavior (crazy right?)
However, in the U.S. people chew gum all the time! I know I easily going through a pack of gum within two days haha!

In Germany a person's first name must clearly indicate their gender. Which means a babies name cannot be unisex. For example, the name Sam or Alex cannot be given to a female. However, in America it is fine to name a baby by any name the parent feels. My name is Samanta and everyone calls me Sammy or Sam in German this would be consider a deviant.

In my country where I am from (Haiti), girls who are wearing short pants, skirt and shirts are being considered as prostitute. If you have many piercings in your ear or any other part of your body, they still portray you as a prostitute. Also, school is really strict about that. Students can get suspended if they do not wear formal clothes.

Exercising is an awesome thing to do for your health and it is always recommended to do so but it shouldn't necessarily be done at a grocery store. It is a place where people are constantly walking up and down the aisle grabbing items. If your grocery shopping and doing push ups, your really not focused on exercising and could result in injury. Exercise is best done at a gym, in a park, or at home where all your focus is on the exercise.

Kicking your shoes off at home and resting your feet on a coffee table is seen to be normal and relaxing, yet at a Starbucks or Barnes & Nobles it would be seen as disturbing and rude. I would not want to be around someone who has their bare feet around any of my food or personal belongings! At home however, I make my self comfortable and sit back and relax any way I like because I am in the comfort of my own home where I won't affect anyone else.

Homosexuality is considered deviant in the world today because not everyone still believes in the gay rights. Religious, or even people in the United States still believe its wrong unlike some other people that think its right. That love is love, especially in other countries it is completely wrong.

Having tattoos in Asian countries are usually frowned upon because there is a stigma attached to it. It is thought that people with tattoos are bad and involved in crimes or being in gangs. In America it is more common to see everyday people with tattoos here.

In a muslim community eating with your left hand can be seen as deviant, because it is expressed as forbidden, or sinful. Instead it is strongly encouraged and preferred to eat with your right hand. In other religions eating with your left or right hand does not make a difference.

In some parts of the world, such as Egypt and much of the middle east, girls wearing shorts and showing a lot of their skin is considered to be deviant because of their religion and culture. However, here in America it is perfectly acceptable.

Certain foods are normal to eat in one place yet deviant to eat in another. Corn on the cob is great at a barbecue... but a bit awkward in a movie theatre.
