You can never have too much money

A current Gallup Poll reports a “majority of U.S. workers are completely satisfied with several aspects of their work environment, including their relations with coworkers, the flexibility of their hours, and the amount of work required of them.

Deviant Today Tame Tomorrow

Deviance can be defined as violation of cultural norms. However, over time what we define as “normal” changes. American society used to recognize the following behaviors as deviant:

Having visible tattoos
Exposing bra straps or boxer shorts
Interracial relationships
Childbirth out of wedlock

Granted the above examples are not completely socially acceptable by all people or in all places, but the Norm Police will not get a 911 call for these behaviors.

Give at least two (2) examples of behaviors that we currently recognize as deviant you predict will become normal in the next 25 years.
