LOGIC 0 = {0 < V < 2.5 volts} and. LOGIC 1 = {2.5 < V < 5 volts}. A linear inverter could then be imagined to have the following output as a function of input: This hypothetical inverter has no margin for error around 2.5 volts input, and no way to insure that voltage levels are kept away from 2.5 volts.
In the field of sociology, deviance refers to behaviors which violate social norms and formal rules that are enacted. Crime is an example of deviance from formal rules, and informal violation or absence of conformity to social norms include the rejection of traditional ways.
Deviance as norm-violating behavior. In its definition of deviance, the normative perspective offers sociologists a straightforward formula for reducing the bewildering diversity of deviant phenomena to a common denominator. The concept of norm violation appears to be a simple, objective criterion for determining what is deviant and what is not.
