Heya. I finishing an abstract and as usually I simply cannot proofread my own stuff. I would be very grateful if somebody could have a look:

The common sense understanding suggests that deviance is an undesirable action aimed to disturb social order. We tend to connotate deviance with crime or negative abnormality. However, from sociological point of view deviance is a violation of all kinds of social rules. Therefore, deviance is defined as a non-confirmity to given cultural norms and rules. In this context a mentally retarded person and a cold blooded murderer both gain the same status of deviants. By questioning the sociological definition an important question of what actually constitutes a deviant action arises. The idea that actions may be cathegorized as deviant and non-deviant strikes as a simplification which we are going to examine. We will also focus on how deviance is recognised and labeled and in what ways this recogniction affects an individual.

The common sense understanding (DONT UNDERSTAND COMMON SENSE UNDERSTANDING ... what are you trying to say?Maybe General consensus??) suggests that deviance is an undesirable action aimed at disturbing social order. It is common tendency to associate deviance with crime or negative abnormality. However, from a sociological point of view, deviance is a violation of all kinds of social rules. Therefore, deviance can be defined as a non-conformity to given cultural norms and rules. In this context a mentally disabled person and a cold blooded murderer both gain the same status as deviants. By questioning the sociological definition of defiance an important question of what actually constitutes a deviant action arises. The idea that actions may be categorized as either deviant or non-deviant strikes a simplification which we are going to examine. We will focus on how deviance is recognised and labeled and in what ways this recognition affects an individual.

Hope this helps.......

Also ....you spelt categorised with a z and recognised with an s. In Australia we use s. But if you are in America I think you guys use z.

Common sense understanding suggests that deviance is an undesirable action aimed at disturbing social order. We tend to associate deviance with crime, or, negative abnormality. However, from sociological point of view, deviance is a violation of all kinds of social rules. Therefore, deviance is defined as a non-conformity to given cultural norms and rules. In this context, a mentally retarded person, and a cold blooded murderer could both gain the same deviant status.

I think your essay is quite good. Just a bit on the spelling and punctuations like commas and a hyphen but nevertheless, it's great. (I edited some of the parts, hope this helped.)

words and sentences should not be too high sounding and pollusyllabic . Effective sentence is direct and like street language.So better purchase the book bound : Lively Art of Writing by Lucille Payne
