Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description of people believing in the value of hard work, but not being able to achieve success through employment, suggests an anomic setting. An anomic setting is characterized by a breakdown in social norms and values, resulting in a sense of purposelessness and disorientation among individuals. While a poor or unfair setting might also prevent people from achieving success through employment, the mention of people still believing in the value of hard work suggests a larger societal issue, rather than just economic hardship. A distrusting or contagious setting do not fit the description provided.
