Answer: Tracy is a Ritualist.
Explanation:
Ritualism by American sociologist Robert K. Merton is defined as the practice of an individual going through the means and rules of the motions of daily life even though such individual one does not accept the goals or values acquired through it. In the same vein, IT implies that people would not accept the cultural valued goals, but would follow correct behaviors necessary to fulfill such goals.
Here Tracy rejects the goals of owning a big house and earning lots of money, which she feels are defined by society but she still follows the means and abides by the rules, According to Robert Merton Tracy does not embrace the goal of getting ahead in society by earning much money but she is not deviant in practicing the activities leading towards such goal making her Ritualistic in behavior.
