Vedic Horoscope for Merton, Robert K.
American sociologist considered a founding father of modern sociology, and a major contributor to the subfield of criminology. Merton developed notable concepts, such as "unintended consequences", the "reference group", and "role strain", but is perhaps best known for the terms "role model" and "self-fulfilling prophecy".Sy Scholfield provided birth certificate stating name as "Isaac Meyer Skolnick" later overwritten as "Robert K. Merton" born 5 July; same date in Find A Grave Index. His New York Times obituary gives 4 July ("Robert King Merton was born Meyer R. Schkolnick on July 4, 1910, in South Philadelphia" [1]).
