Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand Merton's strain theory, which explains how individuals adapt to the gap between societal goals and the means available to achieve them.
Identify the five modes of individual adaptation in Merton's theory: Conformity, Innovation, Ritualism, Retreatism, and Rebellion.
Recall that 'Conformity' involves accepting both societal goals and the legitimate means to achieve them.
Recognize that 'Innovation' involves accepting societal goals but using illegitimate or unconventional means to achieve them.
Since a sex worker strives for financial stability (a societal goal) but uses means not approved by society, this fits the 'Innovation' category.
