Robert Merton’s theory of anomie analyzes the weakening of normative rules in society and the imbalance between personal behavior, particularly in relation to goals and means. The term "anomie" was introduced by Émile Durkheim to describe a state where social norms weaken or disappear. Merton expanded this concept, presenting anomie as a social problem that arises when there is a discrepancy between the goals set by society and the means available to achieve them. Merton’s theory states that the display of wealth and fame as societal goals through social networks can exacerbate social inequality.
