41. Emile Durkheim's HomePage A key point of Durkheim s concept of anomie is this An increasing division of labor Inthe final analysis Durkheim s whole sociology revolves around this issue http://www.faculty.rsu.edu/~felwell/Theorists/Durkheim/

Emile Durkheim's Sociology "A site for undergraduates" by Frank W. Elwell Rogers State University The Sociology of Emile Durkheim Durkheim's Major Works In His Own Words Links ... Dr. Elwell's Professional Page The Sociology of Emile Durkheim by Frank W. Elwell Rogers State University I have often thought of Durkheim's reputation as being somewhat over inflated in sociology. I have had many arguments with colleagues on this score. They point out several contributions he has made to the field: Distinguishing and elaborating the field of sociology from the other social sciences. His emphasis on empirical data to lend support to his theoretical speculations. Functionalism His focus on the division of labor and its consequences for social life. The collective conscience or the need for a common core of values and beliefs. His sociology of religion is still considered seminal. Some of these accomplishments I find in earlier theorists. August Comte, for example, writes of the division of labor and how its development leads to a shift in social bonds from similarity to interdependence. Karl Marx, it seems to me, has a far better grip on how destructive of social solidarity the detailed division of labor can be. T. Robert Malthus writes of the effect of population (and other components of the social system) on various parts of the social system and on the whole in a distinctly functionalist manner. Malthus also uses available government data on birth and death rates almost 100 years before Durkheim. While Durkheim is the first to be accorded academic status as a sociologist, I just don't believe his contributions and insights rank him in the same league as such titans as Marx and Weber.

Home Anomie Anomie was a concept first defined by the french sociologist Emile Durkiehm. It is the idea that when people find themselves in rapidly changing social conditions they will lose the social guides to behavior. This leads to a state of normlessness and a lack of understanding of acceptable behaviors. Durkhiem saw anomie resulting from the transition of a rural agrarian society into a urban one.He explained his ideas in his book The Division of Labor in Society Durkhiem research suicide as a way to show the results of anomie. He was able to demonstrate that suicide rates increased when economic conditons declined are improved. He hypothesized it was the social transitions that created a state of anomie and led to the increased suicide rates (Suicide: Astudy in Sociology; 1897) Durkhiem also believed crime to be a normal and necessary part of society.

Sociology 1120 Instructor: Mac Nelson Office: B010i This course will act as introduction to the study of sociology. The main focus of its investigation will be directed at establishing how sociologists explain human behaviour, the kinds of terms sociologists use, and the peculiarity of the sociological perspective relative to other human sciences. Students will be encouraged to critically examine their own everyday behaviour in order to discover the basic interaction patterns of our culture. To assist in this process, Schaefer's Introduction to Sociology , will be used to introduce central sociological concepts, as well as extracts from William Kephart's book, Extra-Ordinary Groups , which will help to highlight the relativity of our culture and the ambiguity of such terms as "normal" and "abnormal" human conduct. Towards the end of the semester we shall survey the development of sociology and discuss some of the contemporary issues in sociology today. Course material will be organized around a series of weekly topics that will include the following: The Sociological Perspective Sociology and other social sciences The historical development of sociology Sociological Concepts Notions of human natureinstincts versus socialization Theories of socialization: Cooley, Mead and the symbolic interactionists

Robert K. Merton, Versatile Sociologist and Father of the Focus Group, Dies at 92 By Michael T. Kaufman He spent much of his professional life at Columbia University, where along with his collaborator of 35 years, Paul F. Lazarsfield, who died in 1976, he developed the Bureau of Applied Social Research, where the early focus groups originated. The course of his career paralleled the growth and acceptance of sociology as a bona fide academic discipline. As late as 1939 there were fewer than 1,000 sociologists in the United States, but soon after Mr. Merton was elected president of the American Sociological Association in 1957, the group had 4,500 members. A tall, pipe-smoking scholar, Mr. Merton often used the trajectory of his life story, from slum to academic achievement, as material illustrating the workings of serendipity, chance and coincidence, which so long fascinated him. In addition to Ms. Zuckerman and his son, Mr. Merton is survived by two daughters, Stephanie Tombrello of Pasadena, Calif., and Vanessa Merton of Hastings-on-Hudson; nine grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
