"Mark is a member of a small tribe in New Guinea. The majority of people in his group fish for sustenance and share their catch with all the other members. Most of the people in his culture are very similar in their values, norms, and outlook on life. Mark steals from another member of his tribe. He will probably receive which type of social realignment?

Answer:

- Mark will be shamed in front of the entire tribe.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question, the kind of social realignment that Mark would probably receive includes 'being shamed before the entire tribe' as he 'steals the values, outlook, or norms on life from another member of his tribe'. Since Mark denied to conform to the beliefs or values perpetuated by the majority, he would be subject to humiliation and shame before the entire tribe in order to realign or bring him back to accept the culture or belief propagated by the majority of people in the tribe. Therefore, 'being ashamed in the public' would be the most likely social realignment he would receive.
