Examples of Solidarity in the following topics:
-
- Mechanical solidarity is found in less structurally complex societies while organic solidarity emerges in industrialized societies.
- In a society exhibiting mechanical solidarity, its cohesion and integration comes from the homogeneity of individuals.
- Mechanical solidarity normally operates in "traditional" and small-scale societies, and it is usually based on kinship ties of familial networks.
- Organic solidarity is social cohesion based upon the dependence individuals have on each other in more advanced societies.
- Give examples for societies held together by mechanical or organic solidarity
-
- Mechanical and organic solidarity are concepts referring to different modes of establishing and maintaining social order and cohesion.
- Solidarity describes connections between individuals that allow them to form a cohesive social network.
- Durkheim described two forms of solidarity: mechanical and organic, roughly corresponding to smaller and larger societies.
- Organic solidarity is born from the interdependence of individuals in more advanced societies, particularly professional dependence.
- Apply Durkheim's concepts of mechanical and organic solidarity to groups in the real world
-
- Following a socioevolutionary approach reminiscent of Comte, Durkheim described the evolution of society from mechanical solidarity to organic solidarity.
- Thus, although modern society may undermine the traditional bonds of mechanical solidarity, it replaces them with the bonds of organic solidarity.
- Further, Durkheim argued, the organic solidarity of modern societies might have advantages over traditional mechanical solidarity.
- Thus, solidarity and social integration are necessary for survival and do not require the same sort of coercion as under mechanical solidarity.
- In organic solidarity, the individual is considered vitally important, even sacred.
-
- Mechanical solidarity is a type of community in which social cohesion comes from the homogeneity of individuals.
- Mechanical solidarity speaks to the moderate division of labor and close resemblance in social norms exhibited by Tönnies's gemeinschaft.
- Durkheim distinguished mechanical solidarity from organic solidarity, or a sense of community developed by the sense of interdependence that arises from specialization of work and complementary skills and interests between people.
- Tina and Amy help each other, each providing a needed service for the other, and thus create a sense of social solidarity—a sense of community.

- According to Durkheim, an important component of social life was social solidarity, which can be understood as a sense of community.
- According to Durkheim, the types of social solidarity correlate with types of society.
- Mechanical solidarity normally operates in "traditional" and small scale societies.
- Thus, organic solidarity is social cohesion based upon the dependence individuals have on each other in more advanced societies.
- Compare the similarities and differences between Weber's Rationalization, Marx's Alienation and Durkheim's Solidarity In relation to the Industrial Revolution
-
- Durkheim believed that an important component of social life was social solidarity, which is understood as a sense of community.
- In his classic study, Suicide, Durkheim argued that one of the root causes of suicide was a decrease in social solidarity – termed anomie (French for chaos) by Durkheim.
- Durkheim believed there were two components that would alleviate the decreasing social solidarity in industrializing societies: organic solidarity and conscientious attempts to find camaraderie through one's place of employment.
- Whereas social solidarity was maintained in pre-industrial societies through a mechanistic sense of similarity and dependence along with communal religious affiliations, in industrialized societies, social solidarity would be maintained by the interdependence of specialists on one another.
- Thus, for Durkheim, the answer to the decrease in mechanistic solidarity and the increasing anomie was organic solidarity and solidarity pursued within one's specialty occupation.

- While this us-versus-them mentality solidified social identities and solidarities within the two categories, there was nevertheless an overarching social schism.
- A structural functionalist approach emphasizes social solidarity and stability in social structures.
- Conversely, being marked as deviant can actually bolster solidarity within the marked community as members take pride and ownership in their stigmatized identity, creating cohesive units of their own.

- A structural functionalist approach emphasizes social solidarity, divided into organic and mechanical typologies, and stability in social structures.
- Conversely, being marked as deviant can actual bolster solidarity within the marked community, as members take pride and ownership in their stigmatized identity and create cohesive units of their own (for example, members of the LGBT community unifying around Pride).

- In his dissertation, Durkheim described how societies maintained social order based on two very different forms of solidarity (mechanical and organic), and analyzed the transition from more "primitive" societies to advanced industrial societies.
- Durkheim suggested that in a "primitive" society, mechanical solidarity, with people acting and thinking alike and sharing a collective or common conscience, allows social order to be maintained.
- Durkheim argued that in this type of society moral regulation was needed to maintain order (or organic solidarity).
- Interpret Durkheim's division of labor theory in terms of mechanical and organic solidarity, as well as progression from primitive to advanced societies
-
- He sought to explain social stability through the concept of solidarity, and differentiated between the mechanical solidarity of primitive societies and the organic solidarity of complex modern societies.
- According to Durkheim, more primitive or traditional societies were held together by mechanical solidarity; members of society lived in relatively small and undifferentiated groups, where they shared strong family ties and performed similar daily tasks.
- Durkheim argued that modern industrial society would destroy the traditional mechanical solidarity that held primitive societies together.
- Instead, modern societies rely on organic solidarity; because of the extensive division of labor, members of society are forced to interact and exchange with one another to provide the things they need.
