Social control refers to social processes, planned or unplanned, by which people are taught, persuaded, or forced to conform to norms. In every society, some punishments or negative sanctions are established for deviant behavior. Without deviant behavior there would not be need for social control and without social control there would not be a way of recognizing the boundary between the acceptable and the unacceptable.
Social control may be either formal or informal. Informal mechanisms include expressions of disapproval by significant others and withholding of positive rewards for disapproved behavior. Most people internalize norms in the course of socialization. This is any group’s most powerful protection against deviance, in that the individual’s own conscience operates as an agent of social control. When informal sanctions fail, formal agents of social control may be called upon. In contemporary society, such formal agents and agencies include psychiatry and other mental health professions; mental hospitals; police and courts of law; prisons; and social welfare agencies. All these formal agents function to limit, correct, and control violation of norms. Conflict theorists would also point out that social control agents and systems tend, in any society, to serve the interests of powerful groups and to enforce the norms most beneficial to those who make the rules and who, therefore, define unacceptable behavior.
Social control, whether formal or informal, has a dual function. First, it punishes the wrongdoer and reaffirms the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Second, and less recognized, it regulates the manner in which deviants are treated. [br] The purpose of formal agents is________.
选项
A、to make beneficial rules
B、to preserve social orders
C、to control violation of norms
D、to define acceptable behavior
答案
C
解析
题目问正式代理的目的。根据题意定位至第2段第7句。该句提到,正式的代理可以limit, correct, and control violation of norms“限制、纠正和控制违反规范的行为”,因此C项“控制违反规范的行为”正确。A项“制定有利的规则”、B项“维护社会秩序”和D项“定义可接受的行为”并不是正式代理的目的,可排除。
