typology

Examples of typology in the following topics:

• Strain Theory: How Social Values Produce Deviance

  • What makes Merton's typology so fascinating is that people can turn to deviance in the pursuit of widely accepted social values and goals.
  • A typology is a classification scheme designed to facilitate understanding.
  • In this case, Merton was proposing a typology of deviance based upon two criteria: (1) a person's motivations or his adherence to cultural goals; (2) a person's belief in how to attain his goals.
  • What makes Merton's typology so fascinating is that people can turn to deviance in the pursuit of widely accepted social values and goals.
  • Apply Merton's typology of deviance to the real world and give examples for each type

• Sociological Theories of Deviance

  • Merton's typology is fascinating because it suggests that people can turn to deviance in the pursuit of widely accepted social values and goals.
  • The first is the social strain typology developed by American sociologist Robert K.
  • Merton proposed a typology of deviant behavior, a classification scheme designed to facilitate understanding.
  • Merton typology of deviance was based on two criteria: (1) a person's motivations or adherence to cultural goals; (2) a person's belief in how to attain her goals.
  • Merton's typology is fascinating because it suggests that people can turn to deviance in the pursuit of widely accepted social values and goals.

• Cult

  • While most scholars no longer refer to any new religious movements as cults, some sociologists still favor retaining the word as it was used in church-sect typologies.

• Definitions of Religion

  • This introduces one of the most significant criticisms of this definition - the typology can include things that are not traditionally understood to be religious (like cars or toys).
  • As is the case with the sacred/profane typology, this definition is also often critiqued for being broad and overly encompassing.

• Theories of Deviance

  • Merton, in his discussion of deviance, proposed a typology of deviant behavior.
  • A typology is a classification scheme designed to facilitate understanding.
  • In this case, Merton was proposing a typology of deviance based upon two criteria: (1) a person's motivations or her adherence to cultural goals; (2) a person's belief in how to attain her goals.
  • What makes Merton's typology so fascinating is that people can turn to deviance in the pursuit of widely accepted social values and goals.

• Introduction: Multiple relations among actors

  • Summarizing the information about multiple kinds of ties among actors as a single qualitative typology is discussed in the section on "role algebra."

• Combining multiple relations

  • Figure 16.5 shows the resulting "typology" of kinds of relations among the actors, which has been generated as a multi-valued nominal index.
  • Combining multiple relations in this way yields a qualitative typology of the kinds of relations that exist among actors.

• Sect

  • In the church-sect typology, sects are described as newly formed religious groups that form to protest elements of their parent religion.

• The Functionalist Perspective on Deviance

  • A structural functionalist approach emphasizes social solidarity, divided into organic and mechanical typologies, and stability in social structures.

• Summary

  • Alternatively, the information about different kinds of ties may be combined into more complex typologies using logical relations and "role algebra."
