deviance

because of the assignment in class and from doing acts of deviance it is easy to see that people do not know how to react because it is abnormal. for example if you ever hold the door open for people some will say thank you and walk through then there are other people who will look at you with weird facial expressions and walk through the door very quickly because they feel awkward and then others yet will look way from you to avoid eye contact. i feel like our society is so closed off and we are not willing to help others that any time you do its is looked at as strange. this bothers me cuz why is it when someone does something nice its weird, strange, not normal but when someone does something mean people just say it figures or ignore it and more on. we take the negative and accept it and we avoid the positive. this is why we are a closed off and not a friendly society. we hear on the news about ppl getting arrested or killed but there is rarely new of good deeds or good things done. have you noticed any thing about peoples reactions to positive or negative deeds?
