Answer:

innovation

Explanation:

According to Robert Merton's strain theory of deviance there are five ways through which a person adapts to the strain

Conformity: Achieving goals which are cultural through methods that are accepted by society.

Innovation: Achieving goals which are cultural through methods that are not accepted by society.

Ritualism: Achieving goals that are easier to attain through methods that are accepted by society.

Retreatism: Disregard society in general and not be bothered about cultural goals.

Rebellion: The cultural goals and acceptable means are rejected and are pushed to change.

Hence, the statement here describes innovation.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

In an educated related context

Explanation:

Religious discussion is usually a thing of controversy in the society, as many people tend to oppose the discussion based on their different belief on what they hold and belief why some don't belief in the existence of any "God". So, bringing up discussion about religious matters has to be done educationally, as it should not be imposed on the fellow being introduced to but rather to be taught as a form of historical event the individual can learn from.

On this basis is why initiate talking about Christianity as people have different belief and what they hold(belief) on religious matters
