![Jese Leos](https://research.deedeebook.com/author/patrick-hayes.jpg)
Throughout history, individuals who have deviated from societal norms, broken the law, challenged religious dogma, or simply lived on the fringes of society have often been labeled as deviants, criminals, heretics, and outsiders. However, far from being a hindrance to progress, these individuals have often been the driving force behind some of the world's greatest advancements.
Here are just a few examples of how deviants, criminals, heretics, and outsiders have changed the world for the better:

Deviants and Innovation
Deviants are often seen as rebels who challenge the status quo. However, this rebellious nature can also lead to great innovation. For example, Leonardo da Vinci was considered a deviant in his time due to his unconventional views on art and science. However, his groundbreaking work in both fields has had a profound impact on the development of Western civilization.
Another example of a deviant who changed the world is Charles Darwin. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was considered heretical by many in his time. However, his work revolutionized our understanding of the natural world and has had a profound impact on fields such as biology, anthropology, and psychology.
Criminals and Social Justice
Criminals are often seen as a threat to society. However, some criminals have actually played a positive role in history. For example, Robin Hood is a legendary outlaw who is said to have robbed from the rich and given to the poor. While Robin Hood's existence is disputed, his legend has inspired countless people to fight for social justice.
Another example of a criminal who changed the world for the better is Nelson Mandela. Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary who was imprisoned for 27 years. However, his imprisonment did not stop him from fighting for justice. After his release, Mandela became the first black president of South Africa and helped to dismantle the apartheid system.
Heretics and Religious Reform
Heretics are often seen as threats to religious orthodoxy. However, some heretics have actually played a positive role in religious reform. For example, Martin Luther was a German theologian who challenged the authority of the Catholic Church. Luther's teachings led to the Protestant Reformation, which had a profound impact on European history.
Another example of a heretic who changed the world for the better is Galileo Galilei. Galileo was an Italian astronomer who challenged the geocentric model of the universe. Galileo's work helped to usher in the Scientific Revolution and changed our understanding of the cosmos.
Outsiders and Cultural Diversity
Outsiders are often seen as strange or different. However, outsiders can also bring new ideas and perspectives to society. For example, immigrants have played a major role in shaping American culture. Immigrants have brought new foods, languages, and traditions to the United States, which have enriched our society.
Another example of outsiders who have changed the world for the better is the LGBTQ community. LGBTQ people have faced discrimination and prejudice throughout history. However, they have also made significant contributions to society. For example, Alan Turing was a gay British mathematician who helped to develop the computer. Turing's work has had a profound impact on the development of modern technology.
Deviants, criminals, heretics, and outsiders have often been marginalized and persecuted throughout history. However, these individuals have also played a vital role in shaping our world. They have challenged the status quo, fought for justice, reformed religion, and brought new ideas and perspectives to society. In short, deviants, criminals, heretics, and outsiders have made the world a more diverse, innovative, and tolerant place.
