Social Evolution and Mechanical and Organic Solidarity by Naff Kennedy Aineya Pdf

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Sociology - General and Theoretical Directions, grade: 2, , course: History, language: English, abstract: The essay expounds on Durkheim's ideas on social evolution concerning the idea of collective consciousness or collective effectiveness. It expounds on the relationship between social condition and individuality, as under what social condition can individualism emerge and determines the relationship between mechanical and organic solidarity. Mechanical solidary is a form of social ties in traditional societies composed of small clans. Organic solidarity is a relationship in modern society where people are distant from societal norms, values, and morals. However, people are connected with bonds of organic solidarity. Modern societies have sought to understand how individuals live together in dense settings. Durkheim explains how the division of labor, social order, and solidarity are maintained. Solidarity is the connections between individuals, allowing the creation of a cohesive social unit or collective consciousness.

The Division of Labor in Society by Émile Durkheim Pdf

mile Durkheim is often referred to as the father of sociology. Along with Karl Marx and Max Weber he was a principal architect of modern social science and whose contribution helped established it as an academic discipline. "The Division of Labor in Society," published in 1893, was his first major contribution to the field and arguably one his most important. In this work Durkheim discusses the construction of social order in modern societies, which he argues arises out of two essential forms of solidarity, mechanical and organic. Durkheim further examines how this social order has changed over time from more primitive societies to advanced industrial ones. Unlike Marx, Durkheim does not argue that class conflict is inherent to the modern Capitalistic society. The division of labor is an essential component to the practice of the modern capitalistic system due to the increased economic efficiency that can arise out of specialization; however Durkheim acknowledges that increased specialization does not serve all interests equally well. This important and foundational work is a must read for all students of sociology and economic philosophy.

The Division of Labor in Society by Emile Durkheim Pdf

"In 1893, a young doctoral student was to publish an entirely original work on the nature of labor and production as they were being shaped by the industrial revolution. Emile Durkheim's The Division of Labor in Society studies the nature of social solidarity and explores the ties that bind one person to the next in order to hold society together. This revised and updated second edition fluently conveys original arguments for contemporary readers. Leading Durkheim scholar Steve Lukes's new introduction builds upon Lewis Coser's original -- which places the work in its intellectual and historical context and pinpoints its central ideas and arguments -- by focusing on the text's significance for how we ought to think sociologically about some central problems that face us today."--Back cover.

A Critical Account of Durkheim's Concept of Organic Solidarity by Johannes Lenhard Pdf

Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Sociology - Classics and Theoretical Directions, grade: Distinction, London School of Economics, language: English, abstract: Durkheim followed one central question during his writings, namely the search for the "bonds which unite men one with another" (Durkheim, 1888: 257). Especially Durkheim's early works are concerned in this respect with the forms of 'solidarit ' that are specific for pre-industrial or lower societies in contrast to the ongoing industrialised or organised kind of community. In the 'Division of Labour', Durkheim arrives at a rather pessimistic account of modern, industrial society: although under 'normal circumstances' the division of labour leads to a harmonious society bound together by solidarity, our current form of industrial organisation is in an "appaling crisis" (ibd.: 339) composed of "organs that still clash discordantly together" (ibd.: 340). It is this account Durkheim gives of solidarity in the modern society that can be criticised substantially. The following essay will therefore consist of an analysis of his line of thought that leads him from early societies bound together by what he calls 'mechanical solidarity' based on similarities, to the notion of 'organic solidarity' in the 'contractual society'. Especially his optimistic, evolutionary account of the development of solidarity, his use of empirical data and finally his idealised notion of society are possible points of doubt as will be shown. The concluding remarks will lift Durkheim's analysis from the early 20th Century to a contemporary account trying to extend it with Foucault's 'penal society'.

Theories of Social Change by Dr. Henna Tabassum Pdf

The primary stimulant to social change is exposure to the situation. As individuals grow and understand the situation that requires change, they grow more willing to accept that the situation requires change. For instance, in the mid 20th century, access to television and an increased media focus on the civil rights movement, as well as an increased access to the writings and speeches of civil rights leaders, shifted the public perspective towards a positive impression of the civil rights movement. This shift in perception helped stimulate change. Technology increases public exposure to the needs of others. Television and the Internet provide an around-the-clock perspective on social needs and provide material to individuals interested in learning about the social needs of others. As an example, increased media attention of women’s issues in the Middle East has increased the general public awareness of those issues. Anyone can read and study these issues and add to the social pressures working to make positive changes in Middle Eastern women’s rights by adding her voice to the movement. Technology removed the foreign veil that hid these atrocities for generations. Education provides an awareness of the historic nature of social change, a map of historical successes for social change and establishes a context for understanding those issues. The book is expected to be useful for the students of sociology and others who are interested in the studies of social change. Contents: • Introduction • Modern Theories • Structural Functionalism and Unilineal Descent • Feminist Theory • Identity Politics • World-systems Theory • Organizational Socialization • Durkheim’s Problem and Differentiation Theory Today • Neofunctionalism • Social Class and Class Structure • Social Alienation • Marx and Class Conflict • Research and Methods

Émile Durkheim by Roger Cotterrell Pdf

This volume focuses on three closely-connected aspects of Émile Durkheim's work: his sociology of justice, his sociology of morality and his political sociology. These areas of his thought are the most relevant and practical today in considering fundamental problems of contemporary societies and they provide many of the richest and most important insights of his social theory. Yet they are also relatively neglected and this volume collects together the most incisive recent periodical commentary on them. Within the justice-morality-politics triangle, Durkheim examines moral pluralism and the possibility of identifying a unifying value system for complex societies; the nature and conditions of democracy; the relations of the citizen, the state and corporate groups; criteria of justice and of effective economic regulation; and modern individualism with its associated ideas of human dignity and human rights. This tightly-integrated volume presents Durkheim's thought in an unusual and revealing light, showing him as a key social and political thinker for the twenty-first century.

Archaeology by Dane Castaneda Pdf

Archaeology is the scientific study of past cultures through analysis of physical remains. Essentially, physical remains are bones of early people as well as their manufactured tools, goods (artifacts), and the foundations of settlements. Archaeologists search for and analyze these remains in order to understand something about the culture of the people that left them. Archaeologists often work closely with historians and anthropologists. Antiquarianism is the earliest stage of archaeology. Named for the process of collecting and displaying historical treasures, antiquarianism was generally the domain of wealthy individuals who had the resources to spend time searching for, acquiring, and displaying artifacts. These individuals were motivated by a variety of reasons from nationalism (for instance, the history of the land of their birth) to religious reasons (the examination of Biblical manuscripts). Note that the beginnings of antiquarianism are ancient and may go back to (or further than) the Greek historian, Herodotus, in the fifth century BCE. Today archaeology is a precise science. Archaeologists' tools include radioactive carbon dating and geophysical prospecting. The discipline is strongly influenced and even driven by humanities like history and art history. However, it is, at heart, intensely methodical and technical. But archaeology hasn't always been precise. In fact, it hasn't always been a science. Archaeology originated in 15th and 16th century Europe with the popularity of collecting and Humanism, a type of rational philosophy that held art in high esteem. The inquisitive elite of the Renaissance collected antiquities from ancient Greece and Rome, considering them pieces of art more than historical artifacts. The book focuses on the present state of our understanding of archaeology of the early historic period. It explores archaeological methods - aims, objectives and practices. It addresses key issues that are traditionally associated with early historic archaeology.

Political Sociology by Dr. Gajanafar Alam Pdf

Political sociology deals with patterns of social stratification and their consequences in organized politics. It is one particular approach to the study of social organization and societal change. By contrast, in narrower terms, political sociology focuses on the organizational analysis of political groups and political leadership. In this perspective, the core of political sociology involves the study of both formal and informal party organization, with its linkages to the governmental bureaucracy, the legal system, interest groups, and the electorate at large. This approach is an expression of an institutional or organizational point of view. As societies strive to become modernized and as the role of formally organized political parties becomes more and more dominant, it appears difficult to make a sharp distinction between the social stratification and the institutional approaches to political sociology. Nevertheless, these perspectives assume persistently different conceptions about the political process and are reflections of the basic writings of Karl Marx and Max Weber, respectively, both of whom have deeply influenced the emergence of the sociology of politics. In the nineteenth century, the development of representative institutions meant the extension of suffrage and an increase in the importance of parliament as a device for sharing political power and resolving political conflict. This book is essential reading for practicing researchers, students and scholars of subject and also the informed/interested general reader. Contents: • Theoretical Perspectives • Contemporary Issues: Socio-Cultural • The Nature of Caste-inequalities in India • Contemporary Issues: Development • Issues Pertaining to Deviance • Current Debates
