Herbert Kelman
1 Compliance
2 Identification
3 Internalization/Acceptance

This type of conformity stops when there are no group pressures to conform, hence it is a temporary behavioral change
compliance

People perform this level of conformity because they enjoy the feeling or at least the idea of being identified with them
identification
involves both public compliance and internal acceptance of the norms and standards imposed by the group
this is the most permanent and deeply rooted response to social influence
internalization or acceptance

ex. adult content, drug use, excessive drinking, ed
deviance

structural-functionalist framework
refers to a condition where social control becomes ineffective due to the loss of shared values and sense of purpose in society
individuals cannot find their purpose/ place without rules to guide them
anomie
the tensions and strains between socially-approved goals and an individual’s ability to meet them will lead to deviance by sociologist __________
social structure may pressure the citizens to commit crime
ex. tinatanggap ng mga tao and parang gumagawa ng tao ng deviant because napipilitan sila
structural strain theory
the emergence of deviant behavior within certain groups in the society or subcultures
the set of values and behavior prevalent within these makes them very prone to engage in deviant or criminal behavior
subcultural view
considers deviance as a socially constructed phenomenon influences largely by interpersonal relationships between members of the society
related to labelling theory, which believes that there is no deviance in society, deviance only emerges when society begins labelling certain actions or undesirable
symbolic-interactionist view
analyzes deviance in the framework of competing interests between social groups and the maintenance of power among elites
it considers concepts of deviance as a reflection of society’s inequalities as those who are less powerful; in society or minorities are more likely to considered as deviants or criminal
conflict perspective
considers deviance as emerging because of inadequate social control. if the society is unable to maintain social control and order, it encourages members to engage in deviant behavior
control theories
suggest a direct realationship between social order and deviance, and that maintaining even an appearance of order is sufficient to discourage deviance
broken windows theory
FOD: this form of deviance refers to the use of unadvised or sometimes illegal methods to achieve social goals
individuals acquire the social goals, but fail to internalize the social standards in achieving the said goals
breaking rules to achieve normative objective
ex. stealing
innovation

Involves the rejection of cultural goals but the routinized acceptance of the means for achieving the goals
ex. doing well in career, because of doing the best they earn ng mas malaking money; overtime
ritualism
FOD: When people both reject the culturally valued goals of society and legitimate means of attaining them and their lives in a way that evades participation in both, they can described as retreating from society
involves the rejection of both the cultural goals and the traditional means of achieving the goals
retreatism
FOD: This appllies to people and groups that both reject the culturally valued goals of a society and the legitimate means of attaining them, but instead of retreating, work to replace both in different goals and means
rebellion
is defined as any systematic means and practices used to maintain norms, rules and lawsl regulates conflict; and discourages deviant behavior
