0009. What does Durkheim's line "…even in a society of angels" a single feather being out of line would be a crime mean?
A. | In a community with a very high degree of conformity, smaller and smaller deviations become labeled as crime/deviance. | B. | It does not offend because it is a crime, it is a crime because it offends the collective consciousness. | C. | In any community, positive ideals are the source of what gets attended to as a violation of the rules. | D. | Deviance is natural even if relative and so we expect it to be universal. | E. | Metaphorically, orderly wing feathers are the core of social order for angels and so that's where we expect to find deviance. |
