Anomie

Explanation:

Anomie is described as a condition in which there is either no social control or it becomes ineffective and hence can be seen as a situation where the society offers little or no moral guidance to the people. It may be caused by a conflict of belief and leads to a collapse of social connections between the people and the society. The concept was first introduced by Emile Durkheim in 1893.
