1.Society’s Treatment of the Cash Family as Crazy and Its Purpose (using the text) 

# data[].attributes.body
The father’s sister and her family saw the Cash family as inferior and crazy because they were considered deviant. According to the text, people who are seen as deviant are often viewed as different from society’s norms, unfairly judged, and labeled as unintelligent.A clear example of this judgment appears in the movie when the Cash family attends their mother’s funeral. The father faces criticism from the city residents, especially his sister’s husband, who says, "Who do you think the police will listen to—me or some hippie in a clown suit?"This phrase reinforces the idea that society has a fixed standard for what is considered appropriate, such as wearing black at a funeral. Since the Cash family did not follow these customs, they were misjudged and faced discrimination simply for being different.I chose this answer because it provides evidence (quote) from the movie that shows how society judged and treated the Cash family differently.

2.The Cash Family’s Rejection of Rules and What It Means for Them

# data[].attributes.body
The Cash family rejects many aspects of modern society that, in turn, make them wiser. For example, they are not materialistic and prioritize experiences over possessions. They also have a strong sense of unity, always supporting one another. From a young age, the siblings learned to rely on each other, not just for daily challenges but for life as a whole. This strong bond was likely shaped by their environment, where they were expected to complete difficult physical tasks—challenges that most children in the city would never experience. Because of this, they became deeply connected and learned to work together. Also their father raised them to be highly independent teaching them to overcome obstacles rather than stay stuck on them. This independence will prepare them for adulthood. However, this level of independence can sometimes be too much. For example, in the movie, a teenager breaks his arm but keeps going as if nothing happened. While being independent is important, there is a limit to how much is good.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this answer because it raises the question of how much independence is beneficial or harmful. For example, I have peers who live alone with no one else in their homes. In one way, this prepares them for adulthood by teaching them responsibility, but on the other hand, is this level of independence really necessary? Is it causing more harm or is benefiting that certain individual?

3.How the Text Explores the Connection Between Medicalization and Rule-Breaking

# data[].attributes.body
The text compares medicalization and deviance by showing how knowing about a condition can change a person’s behavior. It explains that when people realize they are sick, they often start acting worse, even if their condition hasn’t actually changed. For example, people with learning disabilities might believe they can’t do certain tasks because of their condition, which can stop them from trying or doing their best.In the movie, the father supports this idea by saying, "Hospitals are a place where sick people go and get sicker." He doesn’t mean this literally but suggests that once people are told they are sick, their minds make them feel worse than they actually are. The book gives another example with animals —when an animal is sick but doesn’t know it, it keeps acting the same(Pg 30). However, when a human knows they are sick, they often start acting differently because their mind makes them believe they are worse.This connects to deviance because people who are seen as different are constantly reminded of it. Over time, this label affects how they see themselves, making them feel less capable than those considered "normal." In both cases, whether through illness or being seen as different, society’s labels affect how people see themselves and how they behave.I chose this answer because it offers a philosophical perspective on how our minds can make us believe things that are not necessarily true.

4.How People in Power Use Deviance to Their Advantage

People in power often use their influence to protect their own interests and stay in control, looking for flaws in others to criticize them. Those seen as deviant, or different from society’s norms, are usually judged by those in power. These people are often afraid that new ideas might challenge their authority and replace them. Those with influence may see people who think differently as wrong or inferior, but in reality, their fear comes from losing power to someone with a fresh perspective.

6.Society’s Treatment of the Cash Family as Crazy and Its Purpose (using the text)

The Cash family was different from most families because they lived far from the city, deep in the forest, and survived only by using their natural instincts. This way of living can be seen as deviant because it is very different from what most people consider normal. The text shows that different societies and situations have different beliefs about what is right and wrong. For example, (text example) killing someone is usually seen as wrong, but in war, killing an enemy is considered a success (Pg.7 ). This idea connects to the Cash family because their father believed he was protecting his children from a society he thought was deviant. To him, the modern way of living—depending on schools, jobs, and technology—was not natural. People from modern cities saw the Cash family as strange or even unreasonable because they lived outside the usual norms of society. For example, even though they had warm, comfortable beds, they chose to sleep outside under the stars. To most people, this would seem like a strange decision since comfort and security are usually preferred. However, for the Cash family, this choice was completely natural.This shows that what seems deviant depends on perspective rather than being right or wrong.

7.The Cash Family’s Rejection of Rules and What It Means for Them

# data[].attributes.body
Humans possess natural instincts because we are animals. owever, as we have evolved, many of the survival skills that the Cash family practiced are no longer essential in today’s world. Instead of hunting for food, they could simply purchase ingredients from a supermarket. Rather than risking their lives by climbing dangerous cliffs, they could engage their bodies in a safer away such as going to the gym. These are challenges they could easily avoid if they lived in the city.  With this exemple I started to questionize: As society moves forward, are people becoming too reliant on comfort and too focused on material things that don’t really matter in the bigger picture of life?In many ways, humans are still animals, naturally built to rely on instincts to survive. The Cash family understood this and chose to live by it, refusing to give up their natural way of life. They also had a unique way of dealing with loss.  Even while carrying the ashes of their mother/wife they sang and danced, celebrating her life instead of letting sadness take over. In modern society, people often react to loss with a  deep sadness allowing the pain  to overwhelm them instead of focusing on the good memories of their loved ones. However, the Cash family was raised to be strongnot just physically but also mentally.  This mental strength is something many people in cities struggle with today. Unlike the Cash children, who learned to face difficulties early on, many people are not ready to deal with challenges in a world that values comfort more than strength.

8.How the Text Explores the Connection Between Medicalization and Rule-Breaking

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout history, the idea of deviance has changed a lot, moving from religious beliefs to medical and scientific views. Medical treatments for deviant behavior are often seen as progress. However, progress only makes sense when compared to an earlier time and is judged by a specific group. It is seen as a positive change, but social change is rarely  seen as completely good. Every change brings both benefits and problems, which do not affect everyone equally. For example, plantation owners saw slavery as progress because it helped their businesses, but for enslaved people, it was the start of great suffering. This shows that what is called progress depends on who is looking at it what helps one group may harm another.In the same way, learning disabilities are often seen as deviant because they are not considered normal. Over time, doctors have created medicines to manage these conditions, allowing people to appear "normal" for a while. Medicine has often been used to "fix" those who do not meet society's expectations, not just in the case of learning disabilities but for any trait seen as different. This shows how society constantly tries to control and define what is normal, often at the cost of those labeled as different.

# data[].attributes.body
Deviance is a natural part of human society that helps define what is considered normal and what is not.However, it is powerful groups those with greater influence who decide these standards .These groups are often shaped by factors such as race, gender, culture, and financial status. For example, being Catholic is often seen as good moral values, leading people to view Catholics more positively. However with someone follows a less common belief system, they might labeled as devient making them appear less important in society.Those in power work to maintain their position by reinforcing these ideas. To do so, they judge groups that differ from the norm.By controlling what is seen as "normal" and "deviant," powerful groups ensure that their influence remains keeping society structured in a way that benefits them.

10.How Deviance Can Reduce Diversity in the World

# data[].attributes.body
Individuals who are considered deviant are often seen as "outsiders" and are judged for not fitting into the norms of society.In other words, deviance is seen as something that doesn't fit with the idea of perfection, and those who are different are often viewed as less than those who follow society's rules.People who are labeled as deviant may start to change their perspectives and beliefs to fit in, seeking validation and acceptance from others. They might abandon their true beliefs and pretend to embrace ideas that don't make sense to them, just to avoid being excluded or be seen as less intelligent. A good example of this can be seen in the Cash family. Many viewed them as stupid for choosing to live in the forest, without access to the resources available in the city, putting their lives at risk.They could have lived safely in the city, but they were expected to adopt the same lifestyle as everyone else.Their different way of living made them appear "crazy" to others. So, they were judged to the point  that they felt pressured to change their way of life in order to fit in. This shows how society often forces individuals to follow a standard, even if it means compromising their own beliefs.

12.How did the dad change over the movie?

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of the movie, the father had a fixed mindset about living off the land and relying only on natural resources. However, as the story progresses, he began to realize that his way of life might be putting his children in danger. He made them perform difficult tasks and  feel pain regularity ,experiences that most children in society are not expected to face.When he visited the city and spoke with his sister and brother-in-law, he finally understood the risks he was exposing his children to. This made him question his choices and decided to change their lifestyle. Even though he loved living in nature, he loved his children more and was willing to adapt for their well-being.By the end of the movie, the family had moved to a farm, where the children could go to school and enjoy a more typical childhood. His decision was based on the safety of his kids.However, if not for his children, would he have ever left the forest?

The panelists talked about whether reality is the same for everyone or if it depends on how people see it. Weinberg said reality is real no matter what things like maps or cells exist even if no one looks at them. This connects to deviance because what is normal or wrong also depends on how people see it. Some believe rules are always the same. Others think that what is normal or deviant changes depending on society. Weinberg said that some people believe certain actions are always bad, no matter where you are. But Carroll said that right and wrong depend on who is depend on who is looking. Different cultures may have different ideas about what is normal.

What is considered evidence depends on a society’s norms and expectations, as each culture has its own way of defining what is normal. The text gives an example: ''To the Papago, obesity is not an illness by the Western standards nearly all the Papago are ill'' (Pg 30).This shows that while every society has a group that is considered deviant , the meaning of the word changes depending on cultural perspectives.

The text discusses the difference between illness and disease, showing that both concepts are defined by society. It states, "an entity or condition is a disease or illness only if it is recognized and defined as one by the culture" (Pg 30). This highlights that anything considered outside the norm (illness, disease, or disabilities) is shaped by societal beliefs and culture. Since each society is different, the way they interpret what is "different" or "deviant" also varies.

Researchers think ADHD traits, like being impulsive or easily distracted, might have helped early humans find food. These traits could have been useful for survival in the past.In a study, 457 people played a game where they picked berries. The more they picked from one bush, the fewer berries were left. They could stay at the same bush or move to a new one, but moving took time. People with ADHD moved more often and they collected more berries. This means that being able to focus on many things at once was actually useful for survival in the past.ADHD is often seen as deviant today, but in the past, it may have been an advantage. Those with ADHD-like traits such as impulsivity and shifting attention quickly, may have been better at gathering food than those without these traits.However as society changed the priorities changed too .In today's world, where people are expected to sit still and focus for long periods, those with ADHD struggle to fit in. Because of this, they are often seen as deviant simply because they don’t match society’s current expectations. While ADHD is devient today in the past was a advantage.

As someone with ADHD, it’s really hard to meet society’s expectations. In class, I often feel like the teacher is talking, but the words don’t make sense because my attention is on the birds outside or the pen my friend is holding. When I say I didn’t understand, I’m told to "just pay more attention" and stop getting distracted. To me, that’s like telling someone who’s sad to "just stop being sad".My mind doesn’t just focus on one thing at a time because that’s how it works. Even though I take medication to "stop being deviant," it feels like its real purpose is to make me fit into society’s standards rather than accept the way my brain naturally functions.

CRISPR is a tool that changes DNA. Last semester, I did a project about how it could help or harm the world. I realized that if CRISPR became legal, it would be very expensive. Only rich people would be able to afford the best genes, while others wouldn’t have access. This could make people without genetic changes seem different than others in other words deviant. Society might treat them as outsiders just because they don’t have certain traits. Imagine if having blue eyes became a sign of wealth, and brown-eyed people were seen as poor and less important. In a world where some people already feel left out, CRISPR could make deviance even stronger by creating more unfair differences between groups.

I follow a woman on TikTok named Nora Yogurt, who shares how she covers her tattoos every day before going to work. She applies makeup over them and wears long sleeves to fit in at her workplace. She does this routine daily to be treated with dignity. In many professional environments. People with visible tattoos may be seen as less serious or unprofessional due to societal stereotypes. This makes them appear deviant because they do not fit society's standards. However, in a tattoo studio, having many tattoos is valued as it can mean expertise and attract more clients. This shows that deviance depends on the work environment and the people within it. What is considered "normal" in one space may be seen as unacceptable in another. Society, not the tattoos themselves, determines what is acceptable or deviant.
