Functional theory argues that deviance plays an active role in the coherence of the various populations within a particular location. The theory claims that deviance creates the boundaries between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. Robert Merton who propounds the Strain Theory is one of the proponents of the functional theory

Interactionist theory argues that deviance results from the reactions of others, particularly those in power, and by learning and modeling deviant behavior seen in other people close to the individual. the key theorists are Edwin Lemert and Edwin Sutherlin

Conflict theory argues that conflict results from the Inequalities in wealth and power that arise from the economic system (Karl Marx) and the definition of deviance by those in powers in ways that maintain the status quo.(C. Wright Mills)

Control theory argues that violence results from the feelings of disconnection from society and the attempt to control or stop this disconnection. This theory was propounded by Travis Hirschi

What is lincolns purpose in paragraph 3 and how does he achieve that purpose
jekas [21]

The president Lincoln  and his speech  on the occasion of dedication of the national cemetery  in Gettysburg, pennsylvania november 19 1863, impacted the  united states society to nowadays.

The second paragraph is a cleary statement of recognition to the effort of fallen patriots in war but the president  highlighted the future work by the nation and the people.

He positioned a proud nation of his army  in war and he gave another position to the people that were not brave men like these soldiers.

In summary the lincoln's purpose in paragraph 3 was the recognition of the soldiers and his poetic speech described that purpose very well.
