One norm that is commonly practiced in some Asian cultures but may be considered deviant in Western cultures is bowing instead of shaking hands as a form of greeting. In Japan, for example, bowing is a sign of respect and humility and is commonly used in various social situations, whereas shaking hands is not as common. In Western cultures, however, shaking hands is the norm for greetings.
Breaking the social norm of shaking hands and instead bowing when meeting someone made me feel a bit awkward and out of place. People's reactions varied, from confusion to amusement to outright disregard. Some people simply looked at me quizzically, while others laughed or joked about it.
The relationship between deviance and crime is that deviance refers to any behavior that goes against social norms, while crime refers to behavior that is deemed illegal by a society's laws. Some behaviors may be considered deviant but not illegal, while others may be both deviant and illegal. Laws formally discourage certain acts because they are deemed harmful to individuals or society as a whole. Other behaviors may be informally discouraged but not labeled illegal, such as talking loudly on a cell phone in a public place.
In my opinion, if someone commits a deviant act but no one is around to see it, it is still deviant because it goes against the established social norms of a society. However, without anyone around to witness the act, there may be no immediate consequences or reactions from others.
