Document Summary
In this, his most famous work, durkheim described: the process of the development from, the more primitive "mechanical" form society. Little need for individual talents: deviance in this society is helpful, if you disobey the rules you are removed, it shows everyone that we only like people who are similar, think "mean girls" clique. An organic society: the different segments of society depend on each other in a highly organized division of labour, durkheim saw all societies as being in some stage of progression between the mechanical and the. Social solidarity is based on the diversity of the function of the parts of society organic structures: there is a hierarchy, crime reinforces division, showing that one person has power over another. In an organic society, crime is used to separate society instead of bringing it together: laws are used to regulate people and keep the powerful in power, think about marxism.
