For this assignment you are to either watch either 1) a Disney or Pixar movie or 2) watch two episodes of your favorite animated television show.
Before you watch, please see the coding sheet and/or my Deviant World of Disney PPT for a refresher of the six categories of deviance (i.e., personal violence, threatening behavior, indirect aggression/emotional abuse, property offenses, victimless crime/status offenses, and general deviance).
Tally all the deviant acts and jot down others that are not listed. See Deviance Coding Sheet on our weekly page in Canvas or provided below.
Worth 10 points
Select two instances of each of the six categories to discuss (i.e., personal violence, threatening behavior, indirect aggression/emotional abuse, property offenses, victimless crimes/status offenses, general deviance). In doing so, provide some brief info about the victims, offenders, and the context/circumstance. Be sure to elaborate.
