Project:
Anomie & Lifestyle
For Merton, there are FIVE types of lifestyles that compensate
for societially sanctioned goals & institutionalized means, including:
the conformist, the innovator, the ritualist, the retreatist, & the
rebel
1. List the famous figures you have heard of in
the media, i.e. movie stars, musicians, comedians, etc. that you think
belong in each of Merton's lifestyles. Try to get at least one for
each lifestyle.
2. Suvery each member of the group on the question
of which of these lifestyles fits them the best, then record how many of
each type are in your group.
