which people’s thoughts, feelings, appearance, and
behavior are regulated in social systems. One way this is
done is through coercion, from imprisoning those who
commit a crime to physicians administering drugs that

people come to identify with a social system and its values
and norms, thereby acquiring a stake in maintaining those
values and norms.
