Durkheim

Division of labour
People become aware of their dependence on one another.  The well-being of each one depends on the well-being of all.

Social time - social relativity of time

organic solidarity (heterogeneous)  vs.  mechanical solidarity (homogeneous)


Anomie
Too much division of labour - members are preoccupied, loss of identity with community, collective group of isolated individuals, bound only by contract
