society needs social control measures
Society needs social control mechanisms, as our society as we know it would collapse. ... Some mechanisms are the police (punishment), law, media, religion, taking away privileges ect…These are put there to try and keep people to the “norms” of society. ... In sociology "social control" concerns how conformity is promoted, including through the punishment of deviant behaviour. Social control through positive and negative sanctions, for example: positive sanctions are rewards (from a hug to monetary rewards for exceptional performance) and negative sanctions are punishments (from a frown to prison or in USA death penalty). There is also informal and formal control. Informal social control, this includes casual and familiar methods such as gossip, stigmas, giving someone a "cold shoulder," and ostracizing someone. Formal control is (often in written form) were rules are given in school or as the law.
