Document Summary

In their attempts to realize these modest aspirations, they compulsively- ritualistically- abide by the institutional norm of toiling as conscientious, loyal workers: retreatism: a withdrawal from society into the shell of one"s self. The retreatist does not care about success or work. Examples: psychotics, outcasts, tramps, alcoholics and drug addicts: rebellion: involves rejecting the prevailing social expectation that we work hard to reach the goal of great success. The rebel may abandon both the pursuit of fame and riches and competition needed to achieve this worldly goal. The rebel may encourage people to seek goodwill toward others and to cooperate in attaining this goal. In this subculture, a youngster has the opportunity to achieve rep or status within a violent delinquent gang. Persons who are recruited into the retreatist subculture are likely to be those who have failed to achieve success in the criminal subculture or to attain status in the conflict subculture.
