Answer to Question 1
Durkheim asserted that preindustrial societies are held together by strong traditions and
by the members' shared moral beliefs and values. As societies industrialized and
developed more specialized economic activities, social solidarity came to be rooted in
the members' shared dependence on one another. Durkheim categorized societies as
having either mechanical or organic solidarity. Mechanical solidarity refers to the
social cohesion of preindustrial societies, in which there is minimal division of labor and
people feel united by shared values and common social bonds. Durkheim believed that
people in such preindustrial societies feel a more or less automatic sense of belonging.
By contrast, organic solidarity refers to the social cohesion found in industrial
societies, in which people perform very specialized tasks and feel united by their mutual
dependence. Social interaction is less personal, more status oriented, and more focused
on specific goals and objectives. People no longer rely on morality or shared values for
social solidarity instead, they are bound together by practical considerations.
