Answer 1

Mertons 5 modes of adaptations

Conformity
- Means = (+), Goals = (+)
- Most common mode of adaptation, believe in culturally defined goals, believe in system optimistically believe you "can do", differed gratification, Internalization = blames self if doesn't succeed.


Innovation
- Means = (-), Goals = (+)
- Wants the same thing as the conformist (success, value of rewards) but uses illegitimate means to acquiring them, more likely to be criminal


Ritualism
- Means = (+), Goals = (-)
- Modifies goals and becomes a modified conformist. Accepts modified goals/rewards, goes through means but never reaches end, slow progress


Retreatism
- Means = (-), Goals = (-)
- Doesn't care about goals and hwo you go about getting. Tends to join the cults, "dropping out", quietly accepts defeatism


Rebellion
- Means = (+/-), Goals = (+/-)
- Seeks to organize rather than retreat, leaders of social movements, blames system if things go wrong, causes stress by recruiting others
