Answer:Differential association

Explanation:

Differential association theory focuses on how criminal behaviour is obtained and it suggests that this behavior is learned from the people that the person associate themselves with. This is when an individual will learn deviant behavior or socially unacceptable behaviour. This theory focuses on how instead of why crime occurs.

People communicate these behaviours through their daily interactions and usually one will learn this behaviour from their closest group of friends or team members.

A person start to be made aware of what techniques are used in committing criminal activity and they are given any rational reason why they should consider such behaviour.

A person will start to weigh the benefits of committing a crime comparing to those of not committing a crime if they see that the benefits is too high when committing a crime then they will go for it.

Sati [7]

What is one social issue you think Americans should be conscious about <br>​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: What is social conscience, and why is it relevant?

Conscience can be described as internalised values: a person’s intuitive ‘moral compass.’

While rational, philosophical, or religious arguments are often used as justifications,

conscience itself is primarily emotional: we associate feelings of pleasure and pride with right

action, and feelings of guilt and shame with wrong action. These emotions help to motivate

choices and behaviour, playing an important role in the maintenance and transformation of

social norms. In many ways, the norms of society are the sum of our collective values and

priorities – as society shapes us, we shape society.

In addition to a sense of right and wrong for personal action, individuals possess a sense of

right and wrong for collective action – what might be called social conscience. Individual

conscience compels us to act morally in our daily lives, avoiding or helping to relieve the

immediate suffering of others, whereas social conscience compels us to insist on moral action

from the wider institutions of society and to seek the transformation of social structures that

cause suffering. While individual conscience is reflected in norms of personal interaction,

social conscience is reflected in the ways we organise ourselves more broadly.

Across the political spectrum, most people experience a gap between the kind of world they

see and the kind they want. On a personal level, social conscience is what bridges that gap. If

we can understand our own social conscience, we can make more conscious choices to help

shape society according to our values. If we can understand the social conscience of others,

we can find common values and goals among seemingly diverse groups and build movements

for change. Understanding social conscience, whether our own or others’, helps to identify

assumptions, values, and visions, making it an important element of sustainability literacy,

and a useful tool for effective social and ecological transformation.

To give an example, homelessness is an issue of both social and environmental sustainability

- while homeless people contribute least to pollution and environmental destruction, they are

the first to suffer from them. Homelessness may or may not be on the moral ‘radar’ of

someone who is not experiencing it first-hand; it may be considered a normal part of city life

– a non-issue, morally speaking. If considered an issue, a person becoming homeless might be

seen as the result of unlucky coincidence, personal failure, punishment for sins, or particular

social forces. These four examples are not mutually exclusive, but each fits into a particular

kind of worldview dominated by random chance, individual choice, divine will, or complex

social systems, respectively, and would elicit a particular kind of response – charity, tough

love, evangelism, or social change. Each person’s worldview influences the way they treat

new information or experiences, but information itself only sometimes has an impact on

worldview. Raising consciousness of an issue, while important, is only one element of

motivating action to transform it.
