Answer:

Anomie

Explanation:

Merton developed the concept of ‘anomie’ to describe this imbalance between cultural goals and institutionalised means. He argued that such an imbalanced society produces anomie – there is a strain or tension between the goals and means which produce unsatisfied aspirations.

Merton argued that when individuals are faced with a gap between their goals (usually finances/money related) and their current status, strain occurs. When faced with strain, people have five ways to adapt:

1. Conformity: pursing cultural goals through socially approved means.

2. Innovation: using socially unapproved or unconventional means to obtain culturally approved goals. Example: dealing drugs or stealing to achieve financial security.

3. Ritualism: using the same socially approved means to achieve less elusive goals (more modest and humble).

4. Retreatism: to reject both the cultural goals and the means to obtain it, then find a way to escape it.

5. Rebellion: to reject the cultural goals and means, then work to replace them.

jarptica [38.1K]

Hello. You have not submitted the text to which this question refers. This makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is only possible to answer this question by reading the two texts. Also, this is a personal question so first of all, you should reflect on what you think about the dangers that social media can offer to users. Do you think social media can influence you incorrectly? do you think social media can impose negative standards on society? Do you think that social media can promote exaggerated exposure? These are some concepts that you can reflect on to create your opinion about the dangers that social media can cause.

Then, you should read both texts and pay attention to how the authors approach these dangers and which author managed to present an argument that most closely resembles the opinion you have on this subject.

Therefore, you must answer this question by showing how you and this author present similar arguments and opinions.
