Deviance...and beauty?

“Deviance, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.”

Welcome!

Welcome to our online-class discussion board...or blog. The idea behind this blog is for us to have meaningful conversations about Sociology and AP Psychology. Hopefully, these conversations will center around things that interest you and things that would enhance your learning. By the time you read this post, we would have discussed all of the "ins" and "outs" of how our blog is going to work. If you still have any questions about the blog, see me in class or email me at Hasina.Mckend@springbranchisd.com .



Your blog facilitator,

Ms. Mckend
