Document Summary
You have a differentiation and division that occurs. But there aren"t any rules yet of how things should relate to each other. You have dol but only certain classes can fill certain functions. For example, people who make money had specified jobs. The more dol there is the worst it is for you. It"s about the relationships between roles and personalities. If you"re going to school you may discover that you have certain personality types. You have people who have personalities to be teachers but don"t end up being teachers. There are more and more different roles so this is where the tension rises. Smith, marx, those authors from last semester talked about dol as alienating individuals. The common theme is the dol creates problems on the one hand and needs on the other side to fix it. Comte says you need political unity to fix the breaking of society.
