Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Total institutions are a specific type of organization in which individuals are completely immersed and controlled, such as prisons or mental hospitals. They are inherently coercive, as individuals typically have no control over their daily lives and actions. While some normative organizations may also be charitable, not all are necessarily so, making option D incorrect. Utilitarian organizations can be for-profit or non-profit, making option A incorrect. While many formal organizations may operate as bureaucracies, this is not always the case, making option B incorrect.
