The paper explores how people think and behave. However, various schools of thought have evolved through the development of social psychology on human behavior. While such scientists attribute a certain behavior to biological factors such as genetics, others consider early childhood experiences to be more likely affecting behavior. Such approaches or perspectives largely need investigations with special reference to the current global world. Concepts such as social influence, attribution, prejudice and discrimination, attitudes etc. play role here. The paper investigates why deviance occurs? How does it affect a society? However, since the early days of society, scholars have developed theories to explore what deviance and crime mean to society. Deviance being an accidental result of disorder and anomie, and a symptom of internal breakdown, it usually leads to crime. Method of research used in the present research is of qualitative type which is very popular in social sciences. Conclusion reaches the result that due to the unbridled and increasing urbanization and the emergence of a controversial society, deviation of socio-psychological norms is inevitable.

Sociological Approaches

This article presents a long overdue analysis of the idea of an ethically committed social science, which, after the demise of positivism and the deeming of moral neutrality as impossible, has come to dominate the self-understanding of many contemporary sociological approaches. Once adequately specified, however, the idea is shown to be ethically questionable in that it works against the moral commitments constitutive of academic life. The argument is conducted with resources from the work of Peter Winch, thus establishing its continuing relevance and critical importance for the social sciences, sociology in particular. Special reference is made to heretofore unappreciated aspects of Winch’s work, including within the groundbreaking The Idea of a Social Science and Its Relation to Philosophy, but focusing specifically on his later contributions to ethics.

A partir de la Pandectística y su construcción del Negocio Jurídico, una de las cuestiones que mayor interés ha planteado en la doctrina privatística es la referente a si el Silencio puede constituir o no la base de una auténtica declaración de voluntad, o, en su caso, cuál es el fundamento que se encuentra tras aquellos preceptos que imputan determinados efectos jurídicos a la conducta pasiva de un sujeto, siendo el ámbito de los contratos aquél donde el tema se plantea con mayor frecuencia. Partiendo de un estudio de cómo es concebido en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales el fenómeno del silencio, se analiza a continuación cómo fue percibida esta situación en la esfera del Derecho Romano, procediendo más adelante a analizar la situación en Derecho Español, con especial referencia a la legislación foral navarra, y en Derecho Comparado, donde cabe destacar cómo es precisamente en las legislaciones civiles más recientes donde este problema aparece contemplado de modo explícito.From the Pandectism and its construction of the Legal Act, one of the most interesting question arised in the romanistic doctrine is if the Silence can be the ground of a real declaration of will, or which are the foundations behind that norms where to a man’s passive behavior is connected some juridical effects; this situation is precisely really important in Contract Law. Our point of depart is how the problem of the silence is conceived in the social sciences; after that, we are going to analyze how this situation has been noticed in the Roman Law, in the spanish private Law –with special reference to the Navarra‘s Foral Law– and in comparative Law.
