Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection means that population groups living in different parts of the world, in different environments, have descendants who are better adapted to those environments.

@thesociologyprofessor 3 ай бұрын

@@asthachaudhri8518 There are a few videos on this channel that cover specific theories of deviance - the video on Merton's Strain Theory, and the one on Labeling Theory. Beyond that, The Outsiders by Howard Becker is a popular book on the subject. But if you're looking for a general overview, I'd actually recommend buying anyone of the dozens of textbooks on the subject. Such books will provide a broad overview of a range of theories. From there, if you wanted to learn more about any of the specific theories in the book, you could use the references section in the back to find the primary sources for those specific theories. I hope this helps!

If you haven't yet, you need to read Cassirers answer to Simmels Tragedy of Culture. I hope its available in English as its originaly in German I assume. I wrote a short essay about it at my university and have been fascinated ever since.

How does Merton explain the issue if unemployment to those who get a good education but can't get a job?

@thesociologyprofessor Жыл бұрын

There are a few layers to this question, and what I suspect Merton would have to say about it. If we're strictly looking at this question, within the context of strain theory/Merton's typology of deviance, unemployment is not something that is "explained" by this theory. Rather, the lack of adequate employment opportunities would be one of the societal conditions that would fall under the societally approved "means" of attaining the goal. So, if someone with a high level of education remains unemployed, then something structurally is going on in which a person with that level of education (and whatever other qualifications the individual might possess) is not able to attain the goal of employment, therefore the means are not adequate to support the goal, and strain occurs. Within strain theory, the real question is, then, how does said individual respond to that situation? Do they seek to meet their needs through illegal activities or public assistance, etc.? Then, they would fall under the innovation typology. Do they just give up and go starve in the woods? That would be retreatism. Do they pursue an even higher level of education and/or gain additional human capital to become more competitive? That could be described as conformist. Other options also exist, but I'm hoping the idea is conveyed here. If we examine your original question beyond the boundaries of strain theory, then I suspect Merton would likely explain the given situation (someone with a good education as unemployed) as either a dysfunction in the system (as Merton was a structural functionalist) or the social system needing a higher level of education for even baseline employment, and thus functioning to attain equilibrium by making even more education necessary. This latter answer is less realistic in a large society with a complex division of labor, as there should be jobs for people with a good education. So, the short answer is that Merton would explain this as something is not working within the social systems (education, industry, etc.), leading to a dysfunction.
