Within Chapter 8 there is a section discussing Robert Merton's
Strain Theory of Deviance. This theory basically argues that
when individuals feel pressure and/or strain to attain certain
cultural goals they may resort to different forms of deviance to
alleviate the pressure and achieve specific social goals.
Utilizing Merton's theory identify you will need to identify an
individual or social group that is well known in the public
sphere. You will be utilizing one of his subcategories of
deviant behavior (innovator, ritualist, rebel, or retreatist). You
will need to explain and specify which category this individual
best fits into and why using their own behavior and track record
as your examples. For example, you may choose a professional
athlete (Lebron James), artist(?) (Justin Bieber), or social group
such as the Amish. Please be specific with the examples and
how they fit into the category.
