1. The Quebec student riots caused by a proposal to raise the price of tuition, can be related to Robert Merton’s strain theory. Merton’s theory is built on the idea of anomie that Emile Durkheim introduced. Anomie is described as a social condition in which norms are weak, conflicting or absent. In the case of the Quebec student riots, they are absent due to the students ongoing efforts to prevent the rise in tuition. Merton’s main concern is that societies do not provide the correct means or avenues to achieve cultural goals. For some of the protestors, raising the price of tuition would mean that it would be more difficult for them to get an education and that would influence whether or not they can reach these cultural goals and become contributing members to society. The strain theory says that there are usually two conflicting parties which plays in why the deviance occurs and a conflict arises. The two conflicting parties are clear to see as there are some people that agree with the proposal in Quebec and some that do not. 2. Howard Becker’s labelling theory attempts to explain why certain people are seen as deviants and delinquents while others who behave similar are not seen this way. The theory suggests that people who are seen as deviants have usually been labelled by others. In the TED Talk video, Damon Horowitz speaks of his experience when labelling someone as a deviant or delinquent. 3. The video of the man speaking about the different types of crimes (blue collar vs. white collar) and criminals can be related to the conflict perspective. In the video, he discusses how blue collar crimes are seen as more criminal while white collar crimes are not. He seems frustrated as he speaks about this divide and inequality in society. The conflict perspective suggests that the activities of poor and lower-income individuals are more likely to be defined
