functionalist emile durkheim believed that having some deviance within society was:
necessary; it challenged peoples views.
insignificant; deviance within society is largely ignored.
instrumental; it encouraged the population to rebel.
dangerous; it encouraged disruptive behavior.
- For the first question: Social control refers to mechanisms that regulate and enforce norms in a society. The first option matches this definition. The second option is more about social order or routine. The third is about a master status (a label for an individual's chief characteristic). The fourth is about a legal - decision - making system.
- For the second question: Emile Durkheim, a functionalist, believed deviance had positive functions. Deviance can challenge existing views (e.g., civil rights movements challenging racial norms) and help society re - evaluate and re - affirm its norms. The second option is incorrect as Durkheim did not see deviance as insignificant. The third option is wrong as he did not view deviance as a tool for rebellion in a negative sense. The fourth option goes against his functionalist view that deviance could have positive roles.
