Social Solidarity based on Émile Durkheim
The types of
social solidarity correlate with types of society. Durkheim introduced the
terms "mechanical" and "organic solidarity" as part of his
theory of the development of societies in The Division of Labour in Society
(1893). In a society exhibiting mechanical solidarity, its cohesion and
integration comes from the homogeneity of individuals—people feel connected
through similar work, educational and religious training, and lifestyle.
Mechanical solidarity normally operates in "traditional" and small
scale societies.[5] In simpler societies (e.g., tribal), solidarity is usually
based on kinship ties of familial networks. Organic solidarity comes from the
interdependence that arises from specialization of work and the
complementarities between people—a development which occurs in "modern"
and "industrial" societies.
Although
individuals perform different tasks and often have different values and
interest, the order and very solidarity of society depends on their reliance on
each other to perform their specified tasks. Organic here is referring to the
interdependence of the component parts. Thus social solidarity is maintained in
more complex societies through the interdependence of its component parts
(e.g., farmers produce the food to feed the factory workers who produce the
tractors that allow the farmer to produce the food).
