where can I find an evaluation of Emile Durkheim's theory of modernization?
Q. I'm writing a paper and part of the paper requires me to elaborate on someone elses opinion of Emile Durkheim's theory of modernization. In this theory he explains his views of crime in societies, and how it allows the society to progress. I've looked on yahoo! search, but all I can find is term-papers for sale. Any guidance?

A. My first advice would be to see what databases are available through your school library or possibly your public library. If that doesn't work, you might want to try the Dictionary od the History of Ideas at: I searched Durkheim and came up with a number of hits. You might want to do an advanced google search. Enter: durkheim modernization crime in the box marked "with all words." Then below that in the area marked Domain enter: edu

the work of emile durkheim on suicide?
Q. Explain the work that Emile Durkheim did on suicide. What methods of research did he use in his study? What were the variables measured? What factors did he say contributed to a person's chances of committing suicide? What theoretical perspective is Durkheim's work in line with?
Asked by dreamer - Fri Feb 6 20:18:06 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Most contemporary studies of suicide focused on individual characteristics. Durkheim studied connections between individuals and society. He believed that if he could show how what is seen as the most individual act is actually the result of the social world, he would show the usefulness of sociology and his rules of the sociological method. In this book Durkheim developed the concept of anomie. He explores the differing suicide rates among Protestants and Catholics, explaining that stronger social control among Catholics results in lower suicide rates. According to Durkheim, people have a certain level of attachment to their groups, which he calls social integration. Abnormally high or low levels of social integration may result in… [cont.]

A. Anomie A term coined by French sociologist Emile Durkheim in the late 19th century. The literal meaning is 'without law'. Durkheim used it to explain how crime spreads when social control of individual behavior has become ineffective, and, later, to explain why individuals commit suicide. In both cases, anomie is a state of low morale arising from the absence of conventions, shared perceptions and goals. The term implies that conformity to norms is natural and normal; that resistance is pathological. Along with Herbert Spencer, Durkheim was one of the first people to explain the existence and quality of different parts of a society by reference to what function they served in keeping the society healthy and balanced, and is thus… [cont.]

A. You could argue it was still relevant, and the durkheim quote above isnt a bad one to use. Part of the reason anomie can occur is because people have less that holds them together. While its possible durkheim originally overestimated the lack of a bond between the worker and the employer...in a more modern conception of employment, where work is more intermittent and there is less of a tie from companies to location - and as a result to their works...an important bond is lost. Workers tend to get value (amidst other ways) from a sense that they are a part of something that matters, that the people around them matter, and that they are valued as part of their company. 2 out of those 3 are more at risk given the way work is structured in… [cont.]

Asked by Bilha - Thu Oct 1 04:54:06 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Both believed that societies consisted of structured systems. Marx believed that all societies were basically divided between the owners of the physical means of production (land, machinery, etc) and those who sold their labour for wages, and that all this key factor shaped every society. Durkheim believed that every society developed a set of shared consistent moral values which made cooperation possible, and that these gave each society their structure.

A. From Durkheim's book, he clearly states B. Most people who commit suicide are not clinically depressed nor do they have any mental disorder of any kind. Rich people kill themselves as often as the poor, and people with high self-esteems just don't feel the need to off themselves.

A. you could focus your comparison - and structure your paper - by asking, then answering, some of these questions: 1. what are their key concepts 2. what kinds of major questions do they ask about society 3. take any major topic, for example Education/Crime and Justice/Social Inequality then ask what different focus within the topic would a Durkheimian and a Marxian use 4. what different insights into the'estrangement of the individiual in modern society' do the two theories provide 5. what major perspectives in contemporary sociology have been influenced by these two major theories? 6. how, in brief, would social or political policies be influenced by the kinds of social research influenced by either approach.

A. Durkheim argued that education has many functions: 1.To reinforce social solidarity History: Learning about individuals who have done good things for the many makes an individual feel insignificant. Pledging allegiance: Makes individuals feel part of a group and therefore less likely to break rules. 2.To maintain social role School is a society in miniature. It has a similar hierarchy, rules, expectations to the "outside world." It trains young people to fulfill roles. 3.To maintain division of labour. School sorts students into skill groups, encouraging students to take up employment in fields best suited to their abilities.

Asked by pumpkinhoax - Fri Mar 16 11:39:09 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Durkheim views suicide as a result of weak social bonds. A social bond is constituted by two aspects: social integration and social regulation. Social integration refers to one's attachment to other individuals in the society and social regulation refers to one's attachment to norms of society. If one's social integration is very low, ties bonding him/her to other people in society is weak, usually resulting in one being isolated and alienated. An individual weakly integrated in society thus has no one to live for, and might feel that no one will care even if they die. Suicide in this case is called egoistic suicide. On the other hand, if one's social integration is very high, he/she might be so attached to others in their society that… [cont.]

Asked by Zack Attack - Wed Jan 27 14:32:45 2010 - - 1 Answers - 2 Comments

A. Durkheim did the largest body of his work in the late nineteenth century, so -- by modern standards -- he probably overlooked a lot of significant topics. However, I'll discuss two. First, Durkheim introduced the school of structural functionalism, which emphasizes harmony among the various social institutions of society. Functionalists tend to analyze the way in which each institution contributes to the whole and how the various institutions work together. He tended to overlook the function that conflict plays in the shaping of social organizations. This gap was filled by Karl Marx in the nineteenth century and non-Marxist conflict perspective sociologists like Randall Collins at the present time. Second, Durkheim did not pay much… [cont.]
