Medicalization of Deviance

Today I will discuss the topic is ab come out of the c pull awayt aesculapianization of diversion. Firstly, as the textbook defines medicalization of deviance the transformation of moral and legal deviance into a medical condition. In this definition it includes two different parts moral and legal deviance, and medical condition. Our society provides a moral and legal standard for everyone live in this society. Society has enough power to judge someone is deviance or normal. Also the Criterion of Assessment is mandatory and determined.For example, if someone did bank robbery, he or she must be putted into prison by police. But in my opinion, the social judgment is not a perfect way to divulge someone is normal or deviance because the real world has a clear hierarchy, the upper classes have more voice and decision-making power in this society. The judgment can also be said to be do in an unfair platform, much(prenominal) as a person do actions with an idea what is beyond the und erstanding of most slew, and the society will designate him or her as deviance. Medicalization gives us one more option.As Peter Conrad pointed out that medicalization makes the medical institution the dominant moral entrepreneur of our society. A take example is Medicalization can try to best help some people ar an addict of drugs, and the medical institution can use master copy skills to help these deviance people rovers. The clear distinction is that medicalization labels people as ill and treats these people as patient. In this aspect I intend medicalization is a positive manner. On the other hand, C. Wright Mills is a robust abideer in society has a main effect on society issues.As he mentioned that we come to see how society affects us, we may support society as it is, or we may set out with others to swop it. However, the pros and cons of medicalization bring a question which is how to define what is normal, what is deviance. An literal issue has appeared in juiced athletes. Some athletes are users of performance enhancing drugs to help them lead others in the professional sport. I think the additional help is a cheating action. The action makes this equal competition become unfair. Also such acts must be punished in order to prevent its spread.These juiced athletes are not subscribing to contemporary cultural norms and values because if audients and other pure athletes are leaded to this juiced Value-oriented, the game or sport will ever lose its worth. Overall, In fact many deviance people pretty fate help to treat them into individual problem in the society. But these deviants should persist punishment for their actions. In addition, each case is different and should be looked at differently as to whether punishment is required or not. Reference privy J, Macionis and Linda M, Gerber. 2008.
