In his old neighborhood in the countryside, he used to greet people on the road while walking, whereas in his new neighborhood, this behavior is considered inappropriate.

In this case, Damion is most likely to have experienced _____.A) ​sanctioning.B) ​anomie.C) ​deviance.D) ​obedience.E) ​strain

Answer 1

Answer:B) ​anomie.

Explanation:

Anomie is a point where the norms and values that we were previously familiar with seems to fade away in new society

These are brought by drastic changes that occur politically,socially and economically. Anomie will occur when the previous values and norms have been disrupted and they no longer apply but the new ones have not been adopted.

People who were living in an anomie will feel isolated in a society that no longer live by those values and norms which will make one feel as if they are not part of that community and they don't belong.

Damion was in a neighborhood where he knew most people and they shared similar values and norms and now due to social change brought by the movement of his parents to the new place he is experiencing different social norms that what he is used to and he is likely to feel disconnected and hopeless in this new environment.
