According to Merton's strain theory, individual's living in environments of social strain will adapt in one of 5 ways.

Match each adaptation to the correct description.

innovation:
ritualism:
conformity:
rebellion:
retreatism:

1. In most cases, people continue to accept the goal and the means to achieve that goal.
In other words, most people continue to go to school and get jobs.
2. Individuals accept the societal goal but use new ways of reaching that goal. For example, individuals may turn to theft, fraud, selling drugs, or other illegal ways of
getting rich.
3. People reject the goal, but continue to observe the means of reaching the goal. In other words, people may continue to go into their job and do their work, but not believe that they will ever achieve riches by doing so.
4. People reject both the goal and the means of reaching the goal. Individuals in this category may quit or drop out of normal life, becoming drug users or
alcoholics.
5. People reject both the goal and the means of reaching the goal, but replace them with different goals and means of reaching them. Often, this adaptation involves individuals seeking to change society. For example, people might reject the goal of gaining wealth, replacing it with seeking an egalitarian society where everyone is equal. Crimes may be committed as these revolutionaries and radials try to change society.
