Answer:

A.

Explanation:

A deviant behavior can be defined as the behavioral pattern that stands in the contradiction of the norms of the society.

The Differential association theory was theorised by Edwin Sutherland in 1939. According to this theory of deviance, people tend to learn the values, attitudes, and motives for criminal activities from the people that one is surrounded with. This theory has played a vital role in analysing the behavior and studies of criminology.

In the case, the parents who say that their offsprings have learned the deviant behavior from the company of bad people or crowd resembles the theory of differential association proposed by Edwin.

So, the correct answer is option A.

Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength? Why? 5-8 sentences
elena55 [62]
Answer: I think crying is a sign of strength, as it’s a natural sign of emotion for human being’s. Some people find it hard to express their feelings, as they might be worried of what others might think. While others, mostly men, have to go through society, as society thinks that man should not cry, if they do they are weak or simply “not a man”. This usually happens to males at a very young age, which gives them a mindset to not cry, or therefore they are not “ strong”. Other people usually get bullied by it, getting to be known as a “ crybaby”.many others think it’s a weakness when it’s a natural human response, and example is a baby. A baby cries whenever they need something because that’s the only way they can communicate, which helps alert their guardian to give them what they need. Some people cry as a source to release stress or piled up feelings. I think crying is an incredible way to express feelings, thats why I think it is a strength instead of a weakness.
