Crash Course Sociology Episode Worksheet | 19 - Theory & Deviance

State Durkheim's four functions of deviance and explain how a society's reaction to deviance marks a moral boundary

Define each of Merton's five responses to strain — conformity, innovation, ritualism, retreatism and rebellion — and tell them apart by which of goals and means each accepts or rejects

Distinguish primary from secondary deviance and explain how stigma reshapes a person's self-concept and social identity

Questions 4 to 8 take Merton's five responses in order, so that block is the natural place to pause the episode and let students build the typology as a table before carrying on.

The worksheet is answered while the linked episode plays; the video is hosted outside the download and both documents carry the link at the top.

Question 15 is the only synthesis item on the page and works better as a discussion or an extended written response than as a line to fill.

Sociological terminology in use — students write out what conformity, innovation, ritualism, retreatism, rebellion, primary and secondary deviance, stigma, differential association and control theory each mean.

Note-taking from video — fifteen questions are answered as an episode plays, each with its own lettered answer space beneath it.

Distinguishing near-neighbour concepts — ritualism and retreatism, and primary and secondary deviance, differ by a single element, and separate questions force the distinction rather than allowing one answer to cover both.
