What is culture? What is the role of culture in shaping human behavior? Conceptualize “culture” and “crime” (in a society) by summarizing the two chapters of Saney 1. The Role of Culture in Shaping Human Behavior 2. American Culture and The Crime Problem . The former chapter gives you an idea about how culture shapes human behavior (including criminal ones) and the latter is the application (illustration) of the conceptual relationship (relation between the concepts culture & crime). Basically, the expectation is to see a well organized summary with appropriate examples and the above mentioned conceptualization.
I am particularly expecting to see Saney’s view of American Society’s crime problem in your papers:
A-Deviance inducing values
1)High expectations
a) political,
b) material,
c) judicial
2)Individual need for achievement
B)Crisis of Legitimacy
attached i will have the chapters of ” The Role of Culture in Shaping Human Behavior” and “American Culture and The Crime Problem”
