SociologySocial Exchange Theory essentially entails a weighing of the costs and rewards in a given relationship. Rewards are outcomes that we get from a relationship that benefit us in some way, while costs range from granting favors to providing emotional support. When we do not receive the outcomes or rewards that we think we deserve, then we may negatively evaluate the relationship, or at least a given exchange or moment in the relationship, and view ourselves as being under-benefited. In an equitable relationship, costs and rewards are balanced, which usually leads to a positive evaluation of the relationship and satisfaction.Write about a friendship situation where the balance was uneven.How did you feel?

Questions:
1. Why might some sociologists argue that the sociology of deviance is ‘dead’?

2. In The Rules of Sociological Method, Durkheim argues that crime serves a purpose within a society. What purpose does he think it serves and how does he think it works? Is Durkheim’s theory about crime a normative theory, or does it come from the labelling perspective?(See Roach Anleu AND Durkheim, week 2)
3. Labelling theorists have argued that our sociological understandings of deviance should look beyond norm-breaking activities. What do they think we should study instead?
4. In the brief excerpt from Foucault’s Madness and Civilization, you’ll read about a process of control being exerted over a seventeen-year-old girl. How does this fit in with the three central themes of Foucault’s analysis provided by Roach Anleu?
