Robert Merton’s Goal Attainment Theory

This theory basically argues that when individuals feel pressure and/or strain to attain certain cultural goals they may resort to different forms of deviance to alleviate the pressure and achieve specific social goals.

You will be utilizing one of his subcategories of deviant behavior (innovator, ritualist, rebel, or retreatist). You will need to explain and specify which category this individual best fits into and why using their own behavior and track record as your examples.
