According to Merton's theory of anomie, the "culture" grants all members of a society the same success goals, and at the same time society differentiates the chances of access to legitimate opportunities according to location within the social structure (social class). Group-specific pressures result which lead to group-specific deviant behaviour. In a next step, the research issues derived from the stocktaking shall be - if possible - subjected to empirical investigation, modified and defined more precisely on the basis of the results obtained and, in a final step, incorporated in a new theoretical frame of reference.

Vol 4, No 1 Vol 4, No 2 Vol 4, No 3 Vol 4, No 4 SOCIOLOGICAL FORUM Vol. 4, No. 1 March 1989 CONTENTS A Note from the Editor Robin M. Williams, Jr. ARTICLES Social Affinity Among Top Managerial Executives of Large Corporations in Korea Eui Hang Shin and Seung Kwon Chin Korea is a society subject to quite diverse social forces. Modernization "should" encourage reform, but the yoke of tradition restrains this tendency. This paper examines the patterns of preferential treatment of executives, based on family, school, and regional ties, by owners of large "Jaebol" corporations in Korea. We found that about 21% of the total number of executive positions in the large corporations were occupied by individuals who had some type of "family tie" with the owners of the corporations. Also, there is a strong tendency of corporation owners to employ the executives of the same regional origin of birth as their own, but the affinity based on school ties was not as strong as that of regional origin. The findings of this study seem to support arguments of previous studies that claimed a "trust" factor as a main cause of social similarity and affinity between owners and executives in corporations. KEY WORDS: Korea; social affinity; top management; preferential hiring; ascriptive ties.

anomie A condition characterized by the absence or confusion of social norms or values in a society or group. According to Martindale, anomie is the "strict counterpart of the idea of social solidarity. Just as social solidarity is a state of collective ideological integration, anomie is a state of confusion, insecurity, 'normlessness'. The collective representations are in a state of decay."

Margaret Evans One could easily make the statement that Robert K. Merton was destined to become a sociologist. Almost from the beginning of his academic career Merton was interested in sociology and society’s effect on individuals. However, it could be argued that Merton’s most influential work was his theory of anomie. Anomie is a well-known theory within the discipline of criminology. Merton first published the theory in 1938 in an article titled “Social Structure and Anomie” (Hunt, 1961:59). It was this work that catapulted Merton into the sociological spotlight in which he has forever remained. This paper serves as a glimpse into the life of one of the most influential theorists in the 20 th century. It begins with a historical perspective highlighting Merton’s early days and education, it is then followed by a summary of his original theory, its subsequent revisions, expansions, criticisms and popularity at the turn of the century. Pfohl (1984:262) suggests that Merton’s childhood played an important role in shaping the direction of his future studies. Robert Merton was born in 1910 in Philadelphia to immigrant parents (Hunt, 1961:54). He lived in a slum throughout his childhood, however described it with fondness.

Edited and introduced by two of the leading representatives of anomie theory, The Future of Anomie Theory sui generis The empirical chapters of this volume offer much of the richness that anomie theory has to offer. Dianne Vaughan applies anomie theory to organizational deviant subcultures in the case of NASA and the Challenger space shuttle disaster. John Hagan and Bill McCarthy build on their valuable work on youth crime and clarify their theoretical stance relative to life-course and social capital theories. Scott Menard, finally, offers a sophisticated empirical test of propositions derived from Richard Cloward’s famous version of anomie theory. Crime continues to be a delicate subject matter in the sociological discipline. The highly volatile resonance of the crime problem in society at large may be accountable for the resurgence of individual-level analyses in recent criminological work. This book appears to set anomie theory also in that direction. But irrespective of my concerns on theoretical merits and limitations

The author points out that Durkheim identifies two types of social solidarity bonds, which define a society and its rules and regulations: mechanical, which brings about the division of labor and assumes that individuals are different from one another; and organic, which is the individual personality absorbed into the collective personality. The paper states that Putnam examines the same ideas in terms of changes in economic determinism, noting how local companies are often replaced by larger global companies in a given market to create a social disruption that can be profound. Table of Contents Introduction Durkheim Putnam Durkheim and Putnam Conclusion From the Paper: "Durkheim makes distinctions as to the degree to which solidarity binds us together, and he finds that mechanical solidarity in general binds men together less strongly than does organic solidarity. At the same time, mechanical solidarity becomes increasingly looser as we rise on the scale of social evolution. The strength of solidarity is important as it indicates how easily the individual can break his or her ties with civilization. Durkheim equates mechanical solidarity with positive solidarity, and organic solidarity with negative solidarity. Both mark forms of social solidarity indicated by the presence of rules."

Major Works by Robert K. Merton Social Theory and Social Structure, Enlarged Edition, 1968 [1949], The Free Press: New York From the Publisher: Since its first publication in 1949, Social Theory and Social Structure has become established as a work of central importance in the social science. Providing the most systematic outline of the theoretical foundations of functional sociology, it has been widely adopted and read by social scientist throughout the world. The 1968 enlarged edition of this volume contains the complete 1957 edition and two new essays. These essays, nearly 75 pages of new material, form an expanded introduction to the book. The first, "On the History and Systematic of Sociological Theory," states the case for the distinctive functions of histories of sociological theory and formulations of currently utilized theory. Professor Merton shows how the intellectual requirements for a history of sociological thought call for more than chronologically ordered synopses of sociological doctrine. The second, "On Sociological Theories of the Middle Range," reviews the character and workings of this type of theorizing in the light of uses and criticisms that have developed during the past two decades.

77. Cynicism On Rise For Gen Xers, Others: 8/98 arose independently of sociological research on matters of anomie, said Rice, classical forms of anomie that sociologists have long discussed, http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/1998/august26/genx.html

Issue of August 26, 1998 BY KATHLEEN O'TOOLE The rise of a new generation of cynical, bleak and disaffected youth has long been discussed by hip novelists, TV commentators and news magazine editors, but now, after a careful and exhaustive search for evidence of Generation X, two Stanford sociologists are weighing in. Are the young adults born after the hippie and yuppie generations really more cynical, bleak and disaffected, as popular media claim? If so, why? Eric Rice, 25, and his mentor, David Grusky, 40, decided it was time to take these claims seriously and put them to the test. Sociology, after all, has a long history of studying such phenomena as anomie or alienation, both of which refer to forms of malaise and disaffection that are similar, but not identical to those more recently described by Generation X commentators. If Rice's generation was indeed more down-in-the-mouth than Grusky's, they as sociologists ought to be able to find persuasive evidence. "It's both surprising and unfortunate that sociology as a discipline has been largely silent on one of the major sociological developments of our time," said Grusky, a professor of sociology. Studies of anomie and alienation were common when public opinion polling was expanding in the '60s and '70s, he said, but had since "fallen out of academic fashion."

Anomie is remarkably common when the surrounding society has undergone significant changes in economic fortunes, whether for good or for worse, and more generally when there is a significant discrepancy between the ideological theories and values commonly professed and the practice of everyday life. The protagonist of Albert Camus 's The Stranger is an example from literature of an individual experiencing anomie.

80. Durkheim - The Work - Individual & Society Such a state of affairs Durkheim calls anomie, a tern that refers to a condition of From Lewis A. Coser, Masters of Sociological Thought Ideas in http://www2.pfeiffer.edu/~lridener/DSS/Durkheim/DURKW2.HTML

Individual and Society To Durkheim, men were creatures whose desires were unlimited. Unlike other animals, they are not satiated when their biological needs are fulfilled. "The more one has, the more one wants, since satisfactions received only stimulate instead of filling needs." It follows from this natural insatiability of the human animal that his desires can only be held in check by external controls, that is, by societal control. Society imposes limits on human desires and constitutes "a regulative force [which] must play the same role for moral needs which the organism plays for physical needs." In well-regulated societies, social controls set limits on individual propensities so that "each in his sphere vaguely realizes the extreme limits on individual propensities so that "each in his sphere vaguely realizes the extreme limits set to his ambitions and aspires to nothing beyond. . . . Thus, an end or a goal [is] set to the passions." When social regulations break down, the controlling influence of society on individual propensities is no longer effective and individuals are left to their own devices. Such a state of affairs Durkheim calls anomie , a tern that refers to a condition of relative normlessness in a whole society or in some of its component groups. Anomie does not refer to a state of mind, but to a property of the social structure. It characterizes a condition in which individual desires are no longer regulated by common norms and where, as a consequence, individuals are left without moral guidance in the pursuit of their goals.
