Examples of "Deviant Behavior"

I think people act deviant in order to achieve a specific goal they are normally unable to attend. I agree with Norfar, as the extent of the deviant act is dependent on time, culture, and social movements, but i feel as if there must be an event in the individuals life in which he or she is given the choice to become deviant to achieve this goal, or achieve it through an institutionalized mean. But leading on to what i said earlier, when an individual whom is not confident in himself or herself in achieving such goal through the institutionalized way, they act deviantly and find the "easier" way to get their goal. For a really basic example; When an individual who forgot he or she has a test tomorrow, and is unprepared, rather than cramming in all the information he needs to know right before the test, he may cheat to achieve the passing mark he desires.
