Document Summary
Ideological explanations- based on ideals that are held as absolutes. found most com- monly in religious studies, marxism, or other extreme belief systems. There is very rarely only one cause for deviance, there are numerous variables that come into play, and it can be near impossible to account for every single one. Inductive approach- looking at a variety of cases and then making generalizations about them to understand root causes (develop theories) Deductive approach- deriving specific expectations suggested by previous research or logical relations and then looking to see if cases for the profile. A theory cannot be rejected, but rather, strongly refuted or supported. Classical experiment - 2 groups ( control and experiment) are exposed to the indepen- dent variable ( well control group not actually but mimicking), then measured by the dependant variable to find correlation. Egoistic suicide- too little integration alturistic- for the greater good, amonic- when they lose their place.
