Document Summary
How is the individual connected to society karl marx might say that it is their class position, maybe it is the degree of difference (weber), maybe it is different forms of bureaucracies, schools, and other institutions (durkheim). Issues of consensus, issues of social order and social harmony. We use so many systems, and they all work relatively effectively. Part of the glue that holds people together are common values, beliefs, and ways of life. We are always part of some sort of collective. There are 2 types of solidarity: mechanical solidarity is a type of solidarity based on similarity and likeness. Its what makes us part of a collective. There is a presumed commonality, because you meet someone that is part of a group that you belong to. Members of these groups share the same types of values. The rules of the group may be clearly de ned (how to interact with other members).
