According to Merton in his essay “ Social structure and Anomie “, deviance is caused due to gap between :
Means and Goals
Expectations and means
Aspirations and goals
Goals and achievement
- Option 1: Means and Goals
- This is the correct answer. Merton suggests that deviance arises when there is a disjunction between culturally prescribed goals and the socially structured means to achieve them. When people cannot achieve societal goals through legitimate means, they may resort to deviance.
- Option 2: Expectations and Means
- This involves the anticipated outcomes versus the methods available to achieve them; however, Merton focuses on societal goals rather than personal expectations.
- Option 3: Aspirations and Goals
- Aspirations refer to personal desires that may or may not align with societal goals. Merton’s theory doesn’t primarily focus on this gap.
- Option 4: Goals and Achievement
- This option looks at the end result rather than the methods, which isn’t the primary focus of Merton's theory.
