Unit 6: Deviance and Social Inequality part I
By: Abbey CameronSlide2
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.Slide3

Robert K. Merton
Theory: Person is unable to meet the goals of society therefore adapts.Slide9
Example strain theory:

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 goalsSlide10

Travis
Hirschi
People only obey norms because of social control.
Deviants have weak ties to the community therefore they do not obey norms.Slide11
