perhaps because deviance was recent topic in our sociology class that is why i thought of distinguishing the difference of being deviant from being weird. At first i thought it was just easy stating their difference but when i started doing so i realized it hard.being deviant is doing things that is different from the n0rms or traditi0ns pe0ple used to do in the s0ciety. Being weird is s0mewhat the same as being deviant.you are also doing things pe0ple ar0und you are n0t used of d0ing..so could you tell me even one difference of the two?

Weird is just that, odd and unlike any other but deviant is the difference between common man and sociopathic behavior. It is just that. It is not odd but evil and absent of any grace. Society has made a normal landscape for most and deviant is stepping over that boundary. That is all.
