Mode of production the base, and the super structure, the education, religion, everything created to reinforce the power difference. Marx saw social change through change of mode of production. Durkeim said about social change through technology and proximity of people. Solidarity that durkeim talked about: organic-a rise of interdependence and mechanical- cohesion and integrating come from homogenrity (everyone is basically doing the same things. ) main difference is that with mechanical, people believe all the same things. Disadvantage : maybe wont get all the same answers depending on how its worded. Breeching: disruption of norms ex- standing backwards in an elevator.
