@MarcillaSmith Год назад

Yes, I enjoyed the video as well. I don't know that I could have said anything about Durkheim before this, but now I have a grasp of the basics, at least. What I don't get, however, is how we would say that his theory can't explain WWI (or other conflict). If crime serves a purpose by delineating the boundaries of behavior in society, then can't we see something similar in war? What I mean is that a nation is a society _is_ a collective of people _is_ an emergent "individual" in the "society" of the international community. Therefore, I would say that war is an outcome of a nation committing a crime against another, and the society of the international community responding to it.

@spacelinx 11 месяцев назад

@@graysaltine6035 : Perhaps, but RU-vid wasn't around when I was in college, plus in the real world, claiming to have knowledge isn't enough. You've got to have that piece of paper, like a diploma, or trade certification and licensing (which may be required by law depending on profession) that proves you know stuff.

@jdoe9518 11 месяцев назад

@@spacelinx Claiming to have "knowledge" is flawed. If people made up everything, the language used to describe everything for example, surely everything is based on belief? I'm not disputing beliefs can be measurable and repeatable. However even what is called science is measured speculation. So just to get my mind around this a pre-modern solidarity is "mechanical" because the "collective consciousness" comes from all the environmental factors, mostly unmolested, the collective self sufficiently live in and modern solidarity is "organic" because people have no choice except to rely on others because the "system" doesn't believe self sufficiency is productive enough? Let me frame it another way. "Organic" is where the mechanisms of government enforce their will on all under the threat of violence, births are certified and registered, licensing and all manner of paperwork are required of proof of anything and everything and if you refuse to give "money" ( a debt based system of agreed value which by design can never be satisfied) to the government earnt for time spent your freedom will be taken away? Regardless of what you do or believe in?

Notes : Solidarity is the cohesion between the members of society and what holds it together. Durkheim's purposes to ideas in which solidarity could work : MECHANICAL SOLIDARITY ( pre modern ): - stands on homogeneity and collective consciousness - unified morally and socially - punishment if one clashed with the collective's belief ORGANIC SOLIDARITY ( modern ) - separate individuals and identities - interdependent / rely upon one another / they can't survive alone - focuses on individualism - visible in the culture of consumerism on how it sells the magnificence of individuals - limiting punishments to righting wrongs since beliefs continue to vary and expand for it to continue to run.

The "mechanical" solidarity looks more organic or akin to biological entities than that modern solidarity, the latter should be labelled as "transactional".

@cloudynguyen6527 Год назад

@@nosotrosloslobosestamosreg4115 I think you run on assumption that organic means unity. But if you look at nature, it's not a collective of the same trees and animals, it's a whole ecosystem with each living being fulfil their own role and their position in food chain. This is what our modern society is based on, we acknowledge that each person is not the same cog running the entire society machine, we are different individual pursue different roles in society. While nature looks static, it's an ever-changing landscape with steady evolution. Our modern society is similar but replace "evolution" with "technology".
