Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Max Weber coined the term "pariah group" to refer to social groups that are stigmatized and socially excluded. This term is appropriate for individuals addicted to opioids as they are often stigmatized and excluded due to their addiction. The other options, such as "proletariat" (which refers to the working class) and "deviant cluster" (which implies deviance from normative behavior) are less appropriate in this context. "Negative social honor" is not a term coined by Weber and does not accurately reflect the status of opioid addicts.
