Answer:

According to Merton, Juan is most likely an A. conformist.

Explanation:

Merton suggested that there are 5 modes of adaptation into society, presented in the picture below.

Conformity refers to attaining something which is acceptable by society and by acceptable means. A conformed individual will pursue his/her acceptable dreams through acceptable ways because that is what <em>society considers as right. </em>

A clear example of conformity is the American Dream and in this case we could say Juan is most likely a conformist because he pursues his American Dream only by legitimate means (accepted by society).

What role do small claims courts play in the legal system?
vaieri [72.5K]
It's the practical-ish solution for individuals seeking monetary remedies too low in proportion to attorney fees, and requiring more legally binding enforcement measures than those provided by mediation/arbitration. The ish suffix indicates that it's not the democratized "people's court" that everyone thinks it is... We've found that it's not very useful for low-income, immigrant or shy folks which either don't feel confident enough, or are so ensnared by the legal system that they never think small claims court a viable solution for their problems.

What are the core values of conservatives
Luden [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

En política, se denomina conservadurismo al conjunto de doctrinas, corrientes, opiniones y posiciones, generalmente de centroderecha y derecha, que favorecen las tradiciones1​ y que son adversas a los cambios políticos, sociales o económicos radicales, oponiéndose al progresismo. En lo social, los conservadores defienden valores familiares y religiosos.

El conservadurismo es un modelo mental que es enseñado de manera individual o colectiva, con base en las enseñanzas o experiencias adquiridas en las diferentes etapas de la vida de los seres humanos y con el objetivo de moldear los hábitos de las personas conforme a las creencias del conservadurismo de determinada sociedad del mundo.2​

En lo económico, los conservadores históricamente se posicionaron como proteccionistas, en oposición al libre mercado. Sin embargo, durante el siglo XX algunos de los partidos conservadores adoptaron posiciones económicas liberales al fusionarse con partidos de esta tendencia, aliados en la defensa del sistema socioeconómico capitalista, en oposición al socialismo y el comunismo. Consecuentemente, en la actualidad dentro del conservadurismo político coexisten diversas posturas sobre lo económico. A la fusión entre ambas posturas se la denomina comúnmente como liberalismo conservador.

Así, dentro de la misma corriente algunos buscan mantener las condiciones presentes o un progreso paulatino dentro de un orden social heredado, otros buscan volver a situaciones anteriores, por lo que existe una cierta confusión —incluso dentro de la misma cultura política— acerca de quiénes serían, en un momento dado, conservadores. Martín Blinkhorn, por ejemplo, pregunta: "¿Quiénes son los conservadores en la Rusia de estos días? ¿Son los estalinistas irredentos o los reformadores que han aceptado las visiones políticas de derecha de los conservadores modernos, tal como Margaret Thatcher?".
