1. Unit 6: Deviance and Social Inequality part I By: Abbey Cameron

2. Social Control Every society develops norms that reflect the cultural values its members consider important. Norms are enforced by: 1. Internalization- process by which the norm becomes part of a person’s personality, thus conditioning the person to conform. 2. Sanctions- rewards or punishments used to enforce certain behavior.

8. Strain Theory Functionalist Perspective Robert K. Merton Theory: Person is unable to meet the goals of society therefore adapts.

Example strain theory: Cultural Goal: beauty, economic success Conformity: reaches goal through conventional means Innovation: reaches goal through unconventional means Ritualism: abandons goal but continues to follow norms Retreatism: abandons all goals Rebellion: Challenges and tries to replace goals
