Answered by Examlex AI CopilotThe two main types of social control, formal and informal, can be seen in society today through various mechanisms and institutions.
Formal social control is enforced through laws, regulations, and formal institutions such as the criminal justice system. An example of formal social control in society today is the presence of police officers and security personnel who enforce laws and regulations to maintain order and prevent crime. Another example is the legal system, which uses courts and legal processes to punish individuals who violate societal norms and laws.
Informal social control, on the other hand, is enforced through social norms, values, and informal institutions such as family, peer groups, and community organizations. An example of informal social control in society today is the influence of social media and public opinion, which can shape individuals' behavior and choices based on societal expectations and norms. Another example is the role of family and peer groups in shaping individuals' behavior and attitudes through informal socialization and reinforcement of societal norms.
Overall, both formal and informal social control mechanisms play a crucial role in maintaining social order and regulating behavior in society today.
