Document Summary
Social integration: the degree if attachments and inclusiveness a member of society has relative to others. Social regulations: the degree to which rules, norms, & values are expected to be followed by members of society. Anomie: a disconnect between socially defined & universally mandated & the legitimate means and reality to achieve these goals. Strain: the difficulty in attending positive social things. Deviance & conformity are both psychologically normal. We should all strive for the same goals. Failure is a way-station to ultimate success. Real failure consists only in lessening or withdrawal of ambition or goals. Culturally defined goals: the goals, purposes & interests seen as legitimate objectives for a group of people. Acceptable means: the normal ways of achieving cultural goals. Relative deprivation: a precursor to crime that incites envy, mistrust, & aggression resulting from perceptions of economic & social inequality.
