Document Summary
Some call him the founder of sociology (after augustus comte) Cared about the relationship between individuals and society. Solitarty: when an individual is related to the society and they help each other. Organic solidarity society becomes more populated and there is different languages, and jobs. Main idea: when societies reach the point of lawless in anomie we have deviance and social problems, because the organic state cannot exist. When society reaches a point where there is lawlessness, we have an increase in deviance and social problems. Durkheim: it is in society, society should come back to the normal situation when things are out of hand. Morten: disagrees, believes society causes deviance and social problems, the way society is built, recommends things, advertises values, these all cause problems. Talks about goals and means society gives us goals, but does not provide us with enough mean to reach those goals, and due to this deviance occurs.
