Question

a total institution can be defined as:
a business which offers career advice for federal employees.
a group in which the masses have a large influence in decision making.
a clear chain of command found in a bureaucracy.
an organization in which participants live a controlled lifestyle and in which total resocialization occurs.

Explanation:

A total institution is a social setting where residents are isolated from the broader society, live a highly controlled, standardized lifestyle, and undergo resocialization to align with the institution's norms. The other options do not match this definition: career advice businesses are service providers, mass-influenced decision groups are democratic bodies, and a bureaucracy's chain of command is a structural feature of organizations, not a total institution.

Answer:

D. An organization in which participants live a controlled lifestyle and in which total resocialization occurs.
