Answer:This is most consistent with INNOVATION form of adaptation in Merton’s theory of strain

Explanation:

Robert Merton focused on explaining why people tend to commit to deviant behavior within society and he opposed the other theorists who believed that it is derived by individual motives. Merton argued with these theorists by suggesting that some people feel that the only way to adjust in a normal way within society is to turn to criminal activities to alleviate their critical situation. He referred into anomie or strain theory , anomie which state that

due to confusion of what is happening in one's life and how hard they find it to achieve certain goals in a normal way they will resort to criminal activities.

The first way is to conform to society which means accept what ever is defined by society by pursuing success only in the ways acceptable within society such as education and earning money through a job.

The second reaction is innovation , this refers mostly to criminal act these are people who still believe they must pursue success just they innovate their own ways to pursue that success. They turn to deviant behavior because they want to achieve the success expected from them just that they use deviant innovations.

Such as the student above , he want to do well in school hence he innovate cheating as a way to help him achieve this goal.

bearhunter [10]

Answer: True

Explanation: Each state has a statute specifying the kinds of contracts which have to be in writing and these are often called the Statute of Frauds. This statute of frauds denies validity and enforceability to certain contracts which are not in writing. These rules are in place to prevent contract fraud by requiring the agreement be in writing because it is generally believed that written contracts are more reliable than oral contracts.

In addition to the types of contracts above, a contract that will still be outstanding after one of the parties has passed away may be void or voidable if the agreements are only verbally made but not put in writing.

These contracts must clearly indicate who the parties are, what responsibilities they have and provide the subject matter of the agreement; for example promises made in marriage.
