The correct answer is Innovation.

Innovation is an adaptation to anomie, according to the Anomie theory. There is an acceptance of the goals but a rejection of the means. Criminal behavior is the normal outcome

What is the Anomie theory and Adaptation to Anomie?

  • The concept of ‘anomie’ came from the Greek word, ‘anomia’ meaning lawlessness.
  • The anomie theory, also known as the Strain theory was proposed by Robert K. Merton.
  • According to this theory, most people strive to achieve culturally recognized goals.
  • A state of anomie is developed when access to these goals is blocked.
  • This results in a deviant behavior, referred to as the adaptation to anomie or adaptation to cultural strain.
  • Merton developed five modes of adaptation to cultural strain.
  • They are conformity, innovation, ritualism, retreatism and rebellion.
  • Conformity is the most common anomie and refers to acceptance of goals and also means.
  • Innovation represents the acceptance of goals but rejection of means.
  • Ritualism is the rejection of goals but acceptance of means.
  • Retreatism is the rejection of both goals and means.
  • Rebellion is the rejection of goals and means and the attempt to adopt new goals and means.

Which of the following is closest to the Athenian form of democracy? A. New England town meeting B. the House of Representatives
wolverine [178]

Answer:

A. New England town meeting

Explanation:

Greek democracy created at Athens was direct, rather than representative: any adult male citizen over the age of 20 could take part, and it was a duty to do so. The officials of the democracy were in part elected by the Assembly and in large part chosen by lottery in a process called sortition.

It was the birthplace of the democracy we have in America today. Athens, although many citizens had the ability to participate in the government, was still not a completely democratic state. In fact, slavery is what gave others the time to contribute to the government. These slaves had no political rights or freedom.

A town meeting is a form of direct democratic rule in which most or all the members of a community come together to legislate policy and budgets for local government. ... Town meetings have been used in portions of the United States – principally in New England – since the 17th century.
