Question

According to Robert K. Merton, ________ do not actively pursue the cultural goal of wealth (they are willing to settle for less); and they engage in legitimate institutional means

Answer 1

Ritualistic

Explanation:

Ritualistic behavior and the action are those that are very faithful to some ritualistic people. Ritualistic are those people who are an anthropologist and are expert in rites and the ceremonies. Rituals are a big topic in society. This is the observation strictly about the rituals and ceremonies.

Merton believes that ritualistic does not pursue the cultural goals of wealth and those people are engaged in legitimate institutional means.
