Collective effervescence : developed by emile durkheim, definition ritually induced passion/ecstasy that cements social bonds and forms the ultimate basis of religion, so does sec football bring us together or apart as a race, opinions of the class: If you are part of the group who is supporting the home team it brings you together as a community. The four noble truths: the first noble truth, your life will include suffering. There is no way around it, you will suffer at some point. Suffering can be experienced through loss, aging, etc. You must accept this fact: the second noble truth, there is a cause to suffering.
