Which one is correctly matched (concept and thinker)?
- 1. Legitimation crisis: Habermas
- 2. Anomie: Robert K. Merton
- 3. Sociology of knowledge: Karl Mannheim
- 4. Democracy as a method: Schumpeter
A1 and 3
B1 and 4
C1, 3 and 4 ✓ Correct
D1, 2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (C) 1, 3 and 4 — Pairs 1, 3 and 4 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1, 3 and 4.
Explanation
★Pairs 1, 3 and 4 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1, 3 and 4.
★Jurgen Habermas gave the concept of the legitimation crisis of late capitalism.
★Karl Mannheim is the founder of the sociology of knowledge.
★Joseph Schumpeter defined democracy as a method, a competition for the people's vote.
★Pair 2 is wrong, because the concept of anomie was given by Emile Durkheim, not Merton.
★Merton later extended anomie into his strain theory, but the original concept is Durkheim's.
★So only the anomie pairing is mismatched here.
