Merton felt that too much pressure to achieve goals, such as financial well-being, led to behaviors such as selling drugs. Merton’s theory relates to juvenile delinquency in that adolescents might experience overwhelming stress or pressure in their peer groups to have more money, to fit in, or to be influential. These social stressors will perpetuate delinquency because

Timing is very important. Themes Themes are life patterns that re-occur in people’s lives over a period of time. There are six major themes that explain the life course perspective;
For this paper, I have chosen a real person who has multiple diagnosed mental disorders. To simplify the analysis, I have decided to focus on the most severe disorder the person has.

Concept derivation can be helpful in generating new ways of thinking about a phenomenon of interest (McEwen, 2014). As the book describes above, the concept derivation can be very helpful in the research of the science of nursing as I will explain can be done on the concept of homeostasis.
