• Enculturation is a process individuals undergo throughout life, starting from birth, to learn social norms, values, languages, and behavior of their culture
• Social control is the process of creating and maintaining stability in society, eliciting certain behavior to conform to norms
• Conformity involves changing behavior to fit in, while deviance is behavior that violates social norms
• Robert Merton's Structural Strain Theory explains deviant behaviors that don't satisfy society's norms, stating deviance arises when society doesn't accept its means and goals
• A conformist is like a person who goes with the crowd, always doing what everyone else does, avoiding standing out and preferring to blend in
• Ritualists are individuals who reject society's goals but accept the means, like students who attend college without career plans because it's expected
• Innovators accept society's goals but reject the means to achieve them, deviating from the norm with different means that may border on law-breaking
• Retreatists reject both the goals and means of society, retreating to a lifestyle they prefer over societal expectations
• Rebels reject both the goals and means of society, aiming to create new goals and means, making them deviant
• The relationship between human dignity, rights, and the common good lies in upholding individual value while fostering collective well-being, promoting justice, equality, and the flourishing of all members
