Deviance

The word deviance is an interesting thing, it is voilating the norms of society in both a positive and negative way. In the positive way, such as paying for someones lunch or randomly helping someone out, those should be norms, not deviance. The world should be trained to automatically help out when needed. You should walk down the street and want to help someone if they seem like they are in trouble. As far as the negative deviance, that is why we have crime and murder, those are the people trying to be heard and break social norms, get "back" at someone for making them suffer. It is all a little messed up, instead of one extreme to the next we need to find a medium.
