Your friend has requested you as a bridesmaid at her wedding and asks that you wear a full-length dress, something that is physi
cally uncomfortable for you. When you tell her you plan to wear a knee-length version, she is mortified and says that she expects you to agree to her request. To get you to comply, she may use: a. anomie b. a sanction c. community policing d. differential association
To get you to comply, she may use: b. a <u>sanction</u>
Explanation:
In sociology, sanctions refer to any action or expression indicating approval or disapproval of somebody else's behavior and intended to ensure compliance with social norms. They are forms of social control, and can be positive (when they reward accepted behavior) or negative (when they punish unaccepted behavior). Therefore, to get you to use a full-length dress at her wedding, your friend may use sanction, more specifically, negative action to discourage your nonconformity to the norm.
