Emile Durkheim's "life is a plateful of temptations"/"why don't people deviate?" Help?!

Question

I am researching the above statements/theories for a class project, but the text has NOTHING on it. Don't try to tell me it does because I've already read the whole thing. I've looked through search engine findings, but nothing comes up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

. People generally don't 'deviate' because they're confortable in their routine.  They're safe doing the things they do best, which is what they do most of.

In a lot of ways when dealing with minor things in our lives, which are themselves minor, once you learn how to do something and it works, why change?

We are creatures of Habit. Mindless cretins.  robots.

Answer 2

because they are restricted by moral and norms. it would be a much safer position to conform rather than against it.
