What term do social scientists use to describe a scenario where outdated laws and norms are disregarded, and defiant groups establish new behavioral standards?
Explanation
When established laws and rules are rejected and rebellious groups create new norms, social scientists refer to this process as a revolution. This differs from convergence (A), which involves groups coming together; collective behavior (C), which is broader group activity; and coup d'etat (D), which specifically means a sudden overthrow of government.
