Document Summary
Socb43 week 6, lecture thursday, february 13, 2014. Restitutive law compensation: restoring the world to how it was before it happened, harming the criminal is not relevant. What is the connected between those laws and solidarity: penal law is intimately linked to mechanical solidarity, mechanical solidarity is created through penal law. Set of feelings that are not particular to one individual or group but shared by everyone. Collective conscience does something for us, allowing us to feel ideas as individuals are not just ours but shared by many other people. When this is felt, ideas become more powerful and meaningful to you. Liking punk music, the less contested it is, the more you feel that there is meaning to it. The most shared feelings are going to be the ones that are the most powerful. The most commonly shared feelings are the strongest. Those who threaten these feelings, threaten the common sense we all have.
