Transcript
- Durkheim’s first major published work.
- Influential in advancing sociological theories and thought.
- Durkheim discusses how the division of labor is beneficial for society.
The division of labor goes beyond economic interests; it also establishes social and moral order within a society.
Two categories of societal solidarity:
- Organic
- Mechanical
social cohesion based upon the dependence individuals have on each other in more advanced societies
- It comes from the interdependence that arises from specialization of work and the complementarities between people—a development that occurs in "modern" and "industrial" societies.
- Each individual must have a distinct job or action and a personality that is his or her own.
- The order and very solidarity of society depends on their reliance on each other to perform their specified tasks.
- Mechanical solidarity connects the individual to society without any intermediary.
- Its cohesion and integration comes from the homogeneity of individuals.
- Mechanical solidarity normally operates in "traditional" and small-scale societies, and it is usually based on kinship ties of familial networks.
